Imperial was originally the up market brand name of Chrysler vehicles built to compete directly with Cadillac and Lincoln models. For much of the 1950s, its cars had rather sedate styling, with much less glitz than that of rival marques, but after 1954, when Imperial became a separate division from Chrysler, all that began to change. Fins started to become taller and chrome embellishment more fancy. Finally, and entirely new Vigil Exner designed body was introduced in the 1957 in the market with wrap around screens and a set of quadruple front headlights. The comprised of the ride is two and four door hardtop models, a limousine and a wonderfully extravagant convertible all powered by a 345 bhp V8 engine. Each successive year Imperial tail fins grew bigger but so did everyone else’s. What the company needed was a gimmick that nobody else had, and they found it in their 1961 models, free standing headlights. Hoping to evoke memories of pre was classic, this was the ultimate in non functional design, which generated copy in the press but pleased few buyers. This outstanding ride has an engine of V8, with powerful engine of 6789cc.The chassis is Box section type, equipped with Drum brakes.
The car has three speed automatic transmission along with the independent front and live axle rear. The top speed was 112 mph (179 km/h). It reached 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in just 12 seconds. It was dropped in 1964 as the range began to feature the clean cut styling inspired by Lincoln’s MK IV Continental. The marque became more closely aligned to its Chrysler parent until 1975, When the Imperial was dropped as a separate line altogether.
