No, this isn't another auxiliary club about American cars. It brings together
information, photos, technical pages and news from owners of Chryslers and Imperials of
the '50s and '60s. We invite you to add to it.
Some will wonder why they don't find a '50 Chrysler or '62 Imperial. This site is chiefly
devoted to the era of Virgil Exner, the master designer whose influence led Detroit into
tail-fins, free-standing headlights, and general extravagance of styling. Before '55 and
after '61, Exner wasn't the boss.
The
pages titled 55-61 Imperial and 55-61 Chrysler 300 are organized as follows:
- A brief summary of essentials.
- Specifications, factory options, and
production figures.
- In many cases, a heading For More on
the Subject linking to articles and other information about the model year.
- A photo gallery.
To move from one year to another, click on the flashing date icons at the top of the page.
Letting the mouse pointer hover on a picture will bring up its caption (not all the
pictures yet, but I keep working on it.) If advertising pop-ups bother you, get rid of
them by clicking on their X, or just outside their window.
All
the photos are from my own collection or from the other sites whose emblem-links are shown
above, and we are most grateful to them for sharing. The letter F on a photo means it's a
car residing in France, at least when the picture was taken. Please don't reproduce
any photos without permission.
The translation of these pages is by
Frank L. Peters Jr. of St Louis (Mo). Many thanks !!
