Careful on those birthdays: New Yorker: Late 1930's, postwar, really. Imperial: Late 1925, second year of business for Chrysler. Source: 70 years of Chrysler (noe returned to the person that loaned it to me, so can't get exact year) in 1926 other models had number designations, not names. Chrysler 60 or 70, and Imperial 80. No other familiar names. Most of them came about under KT Keller's era, 1946-54. ===== Kenyon Wills ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
