the reason I asked the question was , I saw a 78 la
baron with a 225 slant six engine in it, and I was wondering what year did the
la barons separate from imperial, the car I'm talking about is what myself and
most others would consider a mid size car but leaning more towards a compact
car of that era.
my next question is this. if the la baron was
the "cream of the crop" back in the 50s and 60s then why did Chrysler
treat the name as a "stepchild" in the mid to late 70's
to me it doesn't make much sense, because in the 50's
a 57 imperial La Baron would have sold for more than a custom or a crown. but
then I see a 78 la-baron with a slant six , no offense to the slant six , but
one would think it should have had a v8 in it.
my old 59 imperial has more options than the 78
la-baron, is it me or was Chrysler heading backwards in the late 70's and early
80s as far as technology and innovation.

it be 1975/76 when Imperial died but the Le-Baron
model continued on? I saw one on what I guess was the
same platform as the ASPEN the other day and felt
sorry for it. It had eagles all over it, like
apparitions, but I didn't know the actual year. Sorta
like a diplomat, too.
