Chrysler Imperial
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Chrysler Imperial, introduced in 1926, was the company's top of the range vehicle for much of its history. From 1955 to 1975, and 1981-1983, the Imperial was its own marque, sold without the Chrysler name, although it never lost its association with Chrysler in the public mind.
