From Chrysler Model to Standalone Make (1955)
Imperial models were built under the Chrysler name until 1954, after which the Imperial name became a standalone luxury make. This shift marked the brand’s official launch as a separate division in 1955.
Long‑Running Luxury Line (1928‑1994)
The Imperial nameplate served as both a model and a division from 1928 all the way to 1994, covering multiple generations and redesigns. Its history includes early years in the 1930s and later revivals in the early 1990s.
Collectibility and Parts Rarity
Today, original Imperial parts—especially trim and power accessories—are considered hard to find, prompting specialists to maintain deep catalogs of NOS and reproduction items. Enthusiasts can still locate exterior components for specific years such as the 1965 Imperial, as well as a broad range of 1955‑1975 parts through dedicated suppliers.
