Few words can explain this car. During the transition period between the 1960’s muscle cars and the 1970’s big luxury cars, there was the Chrysler Imperial. I think that name says it all. This car was meant to be so much more than just a luxury ride. It’s a majestic car that should be driving on a freshly rolled out red carpet, not dirty pavement. The Imperial only has two doors, but can we really call a car this massive a coupe? Even the hood ornament is unique on this car, with a bird spreading its wings in a circle that strangely reminds me of imagery from Nazi Germany. Perhaps Chrysler considered itself the Fourth Reich at the time. The 1974 Chrysler Imperial pictured above is a rare beauty that will probably sell for less than its retail price back in 1974. That’s kind of sad considering how high scrap metal prices have been in the past year, and there’s plenty of metal on this car. Be sure to check out the pictures of the original factory shag carpet. I’m pretty sure a species of bear went extinct due to the production of this car. How unfortunate.
