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.
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.
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
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 ✅ _LIKED_ ✅ _SUBBED_
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.
The '63 was the end of great Imperials. But no matter, the Imperial represented the greatness of America with NO apologies. And were all better for it......
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.
Bring back the Rumble Seat! The one glaring omission in the modern automotive sphere of current offerings. The modern technology convenience is swell but with out the mother-in-law’s seating arrangement they simply can’t complete with grandfather’s ride.
Had a '66 LeBaron with the dual quads, dual ac and heat, 6-way power leather bucket seats,real wood trim. Incredible car. Then a '72 Imperial, which was pretty nice,but no where near as good a car as the '66.
Hi! He had no artist name. I downloaded it from youtube music library. But I have a music file. I can send by e-mail. Please write your e-mail here and I will send you a track.
Great pictorial of beautiful unique rare cars, but your prices are nuts low and the listings of the v8s prior to 1951 is wrong they were all straight also known as inline eights.
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.
I don't like the 2006 Imperial, it looks like a modern version of the Checker Marathon. Instead , they should have built Virgil Exner Jr's design proposal.
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.
amazingly ugly and clunky and awkward and thick and heavy and horrible, until 1960, and hard to imagine each one of these dogs didn't foreclose the company. wow.
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.
