"The Imperial name appeared very early in the Chrysler saga, and for many years, Chrysler Imperials were the most prestigious offerings....

These systems were first rank, with exemplary performance wherever applied. For 1967 and after, Imperials became closer in appearance to the Chrysler brand...."
"For the five years from 1969 to 1973, the large convex-sided "fuselage" shaped Imperials provided tremendous comfort and superior highway manners. They looked big, and they were! Those hood and rear deck sheet metal surfaces seemed to extend way out!"
