Check this out. An outstanding design. When I look at the 1955 to 1961 Imperials, I just wonder how the designs evolved. How?? To me it is amazing that these things were bought by ordinary people for everyday transport. No wonder Chrysler corp under Exner made such an impression on the people then and us now. Steve.

'55-56 Chrysler products have wonderful build quality but one line is certainly Imperial!

Take a close look at this car. The right front fender is from a 1956 Imperial - completely different wheel opening shape from the LF Fender, which is correct. !!!

It is hard to understand why the owner would leave such a glaring discrepancy in place on such a high dollar car?

That is hilarious. I wonder whether the judges picked up on that. Good eye Ian.
