IML: Imperial Airflow

["Douglas Nieblas" <doug58imp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before 1955, the Imperial was the top of the Chrysler line. From 1955 until 
1975 Chrysler unsuccessfully tried to make Imperial its own division, but 
the public was too used to calling them Chrysler Imperials. In 1934 Walter 
P. Chrysler spearheaded the streamlined Airflow to an unsuspecting public. 
The Airflow was originally to be only in the DeSoto line, but Walter decided 
to have one with his name on it. The Airflow line did include an Imperial as 
the usual creme de la creme. Unfortunately, the Airflow was too far ahead of 
its time for the public's taste. The rest is history.
