Description : Gateway Classic Cars Dallas is showcasing a 1955 Imperial Newport!

The Chrysler Imperial, introduced in 1926, was Chrysler's top-of-the-line vehicle for much of its history. Models were produced with the Chrysler name until 1954, and again from 1990 to 1993. The company positioned the cars as a prestige marque to rival Cadillac, Continental, Lincoln, Duesenberg, Pierce-Arrow, Cord, and Packard. The adjective 'Imperial' according to Webster's Dictionary means sovereign, supreme, superior or of unusual size or excellence. The word Imperial thus justly befits Chrysler's highest-priced model.


Exterior
With the exterior bathed in green and white, and overall still holds its shine. Chrome and trim are very good with little to no corroding or dimpling, and overall shiny. This holds true for the bumper's bezels, and rear high mounted taillights. Badging is slightly worn in the color areas, and bumper on the rear shows some corrosion and staining at the point where the exhaust comes through it. Big steel panels, and a wide trim spear with a rear quarter swoop is noted on both sides in good condition. 15-inch chrome wire wheels with faux spinners in the centers are mounted within wide whites all around.

Interior
A swing of the massive doors and we are swimming in a sea of tuck and roll, piping, and smooth white leather. The front split-bench is mounted in a large metal base that provides power back and forth for the driver. If the rear bench was not in this car it would be in my living room serving as my coach, it is that plush, and it has a pullout area rest. I also need to mention the door panels with their white uppers in wide vertical embossed stripes, and the lowers are a deep green with a metal thread pattern that drips 1955. Seen also are power window toggles within the door pull. Keeping in tune with the motif, the dash is a two-tone green and white, drivers' side in green with an instrument cluster of 2 circles. The bezels show slight corrosion but are indeed original. The dash is beautifully sculpted in a curved form and has a large radio speaker, a clock and Imperial in your grandmother's handwriting badge. A white headliner above nice and tight and deep green carpet below, and we are in 1955 luxury.

Drivetrain
A raise of the hood and we are greeted with the original 331ci Hemi engine topped with a 4-barrel carburetor. On the back is a 2-speed automatic Powerflite transmission which throws power back to 3.54 rear gears.

Drive-Ability
Just sitting inside this car we are in the lap of luxury and comfort. It started right up, idled smoothly, and took off with lots of Hemi 4-barrel power. It's a cruiser and provides a smooth ride. Cornering is good, and all appears to be working on the mechanical front.

om Chrysler
Den Chrysler Corporation, en av de "tre stora" grundades av Walter Chrysler 1925

Förutom artdeco (isque), kan luftflöde och Airstream modeller, Chryslers första åren saknar lyster i designmässigt men inte i den tekniska. Deras lista över tidiga fordons "första gången" omfattar Floating Ström dvs Gummi motorfästen, utbytbara oljefilter, downdraft förgasare och fyrhjuliga hydrauliska bromsar.

Saker skulle förändras efter kriget, Exner återupplivas Chrysler produktionsbil design med snygga, skulpterade Forward Look konstruktioner av 1955 som omvandlade produktlinjen natten. Flaggskeppet 1955, Chrysler 300, kom med HEMI makten. Den 300, utan tvekan den första muskel bil, blev en legend på och utanför tävlingsbanan och sätta rekord under 1950-talet var The Legend of Hemi föddes.
