One More For the Road: Imperial's 1981-83 Revival

摘要

For 50 years starting in 1926, Chrysler's top-of-the-line was called the Imperial. Despite an attempt to establish it as a separate make at age 29, it was usually regarded as a part of the Chrysler brand, albeit a big, brash, and luxurious part. Collectors recall the LeBaron-bodied fliers of the late Twenties and Thirties, the bulbous Airflows and long-wheelbase limos of the Thirties and Forties, the flashy "hemi"-engine cars with "gunsight" taillights of the mid Fifties, the finned fantasies that actually outsold Lincoln one calendar year, and the land-yachts of the Seventies.
