  • The Chrysler Imperial, introduced in 1926, was Chrysler's top-of-the-line vehicle for much of its history. Models were produced with the Chrysler name until 1954, and again from 1990 to 1993. The company positioned the cars as a prestige marque to rival Cadillac, Continental, Lincoln, Duesenberg, Pierce Arrow, Cord, and Packard.According to Antique Automobile, "The adjective ‘imperial’ according to Webster’s Dictionary means sovereign, supreme, superior or of unusual size or excellence. The word imperial thus justly befits Chrysler’s highest priced model.

    For 1973, you showed New Yorkers, not Imperials. 1973 Imperials looked similar to '72 except for the big safety bumper.

    A most beautiful legacy! We all have wonderful memories of cars that were in our childhood, our first car and our first date. Seeing these cars of old is incredible to know they exist. Thank you for sharing.

    In 1976 I bought a 1954 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe for next to nothing.
    Was a very cool car would pass anything except a gas station and was fun to drive and got lots of attention.
    It still had the Dyna-Flow transmission.
    Loved that old car

    In 1955 the Imperial became a separate make through 1975 when it was discontinued. Brought back in '80, '81 and '82. Then again in '90 and '91.

      Brian Nichols the fact that the IMPERIAL was.a separate make from 1955 on is a matter of historical fact and record. Don't believe it ? Go to Google , and put in "IMPERIAL separate make 1955." See for yourself.

    You've got the engine size wrong between 1956 and 1970. For 1956 the engine size was increased to 5.8. For 1959 it was increased to 6.8. For 1966 it was increased to 7.2.

    U know what.... I LOVE this!! Cool simple concept, and the period correct music is a great touch!! IF you'll allow a suggestion, I think adding the purchase cost adjusted to current money would just knock it out of the park. Also wouldn't hurt at all to add horse power and 0-60 times when available.
    Anyway cool stuff

    The Chrysler Imperial that appeared in the first few minutes of the movie Back from Eternity which was released in 1956, was the outstanding car I noticed when I saw the movie on Television late night on a weekend in the 1960s . The other thing was the beautiful girl who was holdups a camera with a friend to interview a famous professor was Barbara Eden in her movie debut.

    A fantastic chronology, great photos and presentation but these automobiles were top of the line and refined .... your choice of music should have complimented that instead it sounds like music you’d expect to hear with a Chevrolet presentation. The 1990-93 style was the best.

    Nice video, but your 'adjusted for inflation' prices are totally WRONG. Example: 1972 price was $6,762. You say that equals $12,000 in 2019 dollars. WRONG. It would be $41,000 in 2019. Please go back and correct your mistakes.

      From 1926-1954 it was Chrysler Imperial. In 1955 Imperial became its own separate brand and continued as a separate brand until 1975 when the brand closed. The later models that popped up in the 1980s and 1990s were Chrysler Imperials. If Chrysler wanted to re-establish the separate brand again they would have needed to sell the dealerships franchise and licensing rights as they did in 1954.

    Chrysler and Imperial made some of America's most beautiful cars....as well as some of America's ugliest cars. I think their designers suffered from either bipolar mental disorder, or perhaps someone kept putting L.S.D. into the designers' lunch room coffee pot.
