The Chrysler Imperial is an iconic automobile model produced by the American manufacturer Chrysler Corporation, introduced in 1926 and initially available from the 1927 model year. This luxury car was positioned above the standard Chryslers, aiming to rival established luxury brands like Packard, Cadillac, and Lincoln. The 1927 model (4th series) of the Imperial showcased a number of advanced features for its time, such as independent front suspension, hydraulic brakes, and a hermetically sealed body. These improvements contributed to its smooth ride quality, exceptional handling, and superior comfort. Despite its short production lifespan—the Imperial was discontinued in 1954 and then revived in 1990—it has left a lasting impact on the automotive industry due to its technological advancements and refined design.
