Careful on those birthdays:

New Yorker: Late 1930's, postwar, really.
Imperial: Late 1925, second year of business for
Chrysler.

Source: 70 years of Chrysler (noe returned to the
person that loaned it to me, so can't get exact year)

in 1926 other models had number designations, not
names.  Chrysler 60 or 70, and Imperial 80.  No other
familiar names.  Most of them came about under KT
Keller's era, 1946-54.
