From Sub‑Brand to Standalone Make
Imperial models were built under the Chrysler name until 1954, after which Imperial became its own standalone make from 1955 to 1975. The brand saw brief revivals from 1981‑1983 and again as a distinct make from 1990‑1993.
Rarity of 1960s Imperial Parts
Parts for the 1960‑63 Imperial are increasingly hard to locate, and even the 1966 model faces similar scarcity. This rarity makes restoration projects challenging, as many original trim and accessories are now considered rare.
