Well, I once heard someone say, "you don't give away Imperials, you drive
them!"

O.K. I've read the e-mails that the Imperial was overall a better car than
the others. Why than if the Imperial was better in so many ways was it not
the vehicle of choice by dignitaries here and abroad? Did Ford(Lincoln) and
GM(Cadillac) give their cars away for marketing purposes while
Chrysler(Imperial) didn't??

Thatâ??s a great answer below. My reason goes way back to 1962. My Dad
had a big lime green â??58 Fleetwood 62 Series Sedan.
During the summer of 1962 the triple carb gave trouble and backfired
burning it to the ground while on vacation. My Dad made a promise to never
own another Cadillac and he hated Fords so enter a new â??62 Imperial Crown
in Rosewood. That car lead to his next car a â??69 Blue Crown leaving me
to drive the old â??62 Imperial and it hooked me into appreciation of what
a fine car Chrysler was building back then. His 3rd and last Chrysler car
was a â??76 New Yorker because there was no Imperial that year. Personally
I find all 3 to be great cars of the late 50â??s to late 60â??s and would
be happy to have most any of them during that 10 year span.

it's the quality, looks and comfort of an Imperial. Take for example the
one I own, a 74 Imperial. Caddy and Lincoln did not have 4 wheel disc
brakes, Imperial did. They didn't have a metal grille, Imperial did, and
they coulden't match the leather seats Imperial had. Plus through the
years, Imperial always had a better looking body style. Most important
though is quality, Mopar is always a better choice than GM or Ford.
