The "big three" auto makers supplied the Canadian government with three limousines as a gift for Queen Elizabeth’s 1959 Royal Canadian Tour.
The Imperial’s rear seats were tailored made for the Queen and her husband. Each of the three cars had a royal plaque and had anchors on the leading edge of the roof for the royal standard. During the tour each of the three cars were air-lifted by the RCAF. Each car was used on a rotation basis.
Here are a few photos of restoration which took place on this one-of-a-kind Imperial:
