'39 Imperial

["Bill Watson" <wwatson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, the 1939 Imperial had an early example of the waterfall grille.  But if
you want to see the first car with a waterfall grille, and I mean a true
waterfall grille, then look back to 1934.  And, no, contrary to what you may
have read, the first waterfall grille did not appear on some GM product.

The first waterfall grille appeared on the 1934 Chrysler Airflow -  Six
(CY), Eight (CU), Imperial Eight (CV), Custom Imperial Eight (CX and CW).

And you will see where the grille of the 1974-75 Imperials came from.

Good Morning All,
       I was surfing this morning and came across what appears to be a nice
1939 Imperial for sale at a yard in North Carolina.  I don't know anything
more about the car than is shown on the link below, but thought I'd pass it
on to the list!

       I guess I'd never really noticed before, but is that an early example
the waterfall grille I see on the car???

Thanks,
