Chrysler Imperial by Ghia: The Pinnacle of Automotive Exclusivity and Italian Luxury
How did the Chrysler Imperial become one of the most exclusive and iconic automobiles? Chrysler had already established itself in the limousine market with long-wheelbase Imperials dating back to 1926. However, it wasn’t until 1940 that the first Chrysler Crown Imperial made its debut, boasting an impressive 145.5-inch wheelbase and a powerful 132-horsepower Straight 8 engine. Available in both eight-passenger sedan and luxurious limousine options, the Chrysler Crown Imperial maintained its signature wheelbase until 1954.
