Hello all,
I just recieved the new Hemmings
Classic Car for June and it has two items Imperial related. One is on page
20 while discussing Sixteen Masterworks of American Innovation, the article is
discussing the 1951 Chrysler and how Chrysler is the ones that perfected the
Hemi. The 51 Crown Imperial limo is mentioned as needing disk brakes
where as all the Chrysler line "made due with drums". The other important
article is on page 78 which lays out why our TorqueFlite transmissions are so
much better than all the others. The article , yes people this is in black
and white, sums up like this "The efficiency of the TorqueFlite in
combination with a numerically low ratio axle (2.92:1) was a major component
behind the Chrysler Imperial winning the 1956 Mobilgas Economy run by the
biggest margin in the event's history to that date. The big
Torqueflite-equipped Imperial averaged 21.04 mpg with a ton-mpg figure of 61.38
mpg." Score yet another for Imperial.
