yes that's blasphemy!
but im not putting down any american made vehicles. but to some who don't
know better an IMPERIAL in many ways are better than a cadillac.
1. they were built with care, and used the finest materials available to
the auto industry. so that the buyer would get his money's worth and then
some.
2. chrysler has always been thinking " out side of the box" compared to
others that copy designes. or " cooky cutters".
3. imperials are for the people that want to be different , and not a
"wanabe". much like some other auto's that are only show and no go.
4. the imperials have always used the most powerful engines in the auto
industry. by this statement, I would like to point out that even back in
the 50's and 60's chrysler engines were beatin the pants off others at the
races. and chrysler used the same engines in the imperials such as the HEMI
and the 413, even - Richard Petty - " king of nascar" won many races with
these chrysler engines.
can anyone name a race that a cady engine actually won a race ?
IM not just trying to point out that imperials are faster but that
imperials used the very best that chrysler had.
besides the fact that the cady has been played out so much that they are
just boring.
I think we live in a country that allows a difference of opinion , and
thats fine with me , but what does bugg me is when someone down plays
something they know nothing about, AS an imperialist we few we proud few
that own or wished owning an imperial, should help educate others about one
of the finest automobiles in automotive history.
And just one more to add to the list, imperials had used inventions back
in the 50's that all other manufactures use today. correct me if im wrong
but I think chrysler was the first to use an auto pilot " cruse controll" ,
in there auto's. and that must have felt like a slap in the face of GM and
ford, because thay had nothing that could come close to the technology ,
I could go on and on but I will end here.

Hi all,
Some people think a Cadillac is just as good as a Chrysler New Yorker
Brougham!

1914- 2000 is good.
It's for all Mopars and Imps.
Includes, factory price, production numbers, options, vin decoder, engine

Subject: IML: Imperial Book Recommendations
Hi friends,
Today someone called and asked that I recommend a few "must have" Imperial
books for a fellow enthusiast. Tonight as I had time I pulled a few books
from my shelves and discovered I have only 3 or 4 books on Imperials, none
of which I'm excited about recommending. I have so many books on other
cars, yet it seems our beloved Imperials have been overlooked by most
publishers. Do any of you know of books that are "must haves" for Imperial
enthusiasts?
Thanks in advance for your help,
David
