I think it's actually a '57 Imperial....lots of good footage, though!

In addition, there's an Imperial parade phaeton featured in this movie:

I've added several movie clips featuring Imperials on the imperialclub
website (sorry, it will be REAL slow until next week, probably), including
quite a few Forward Look cars.  Please browse from the links above for lots
more.

I will also be adding a 1957 Chrysler road test film called "You're on the
Test Track" this weekend.  This is kind of like the '58 Tom McCahill footage
that Dave Stragand posted a while back--some excellent comparisons with
Buick, Olds and Cadillac, that really show off our belovwed Torsion-Aire
suspension and Forward Look styling!
