Frank,
From what I remember of the time, (when I was driving my first
Imperial - a 69 in 1971) you are right when you said that the 71
Imp was the first and it WAS offered on the 72; however, mid-year
it WAS offered as a "quiet" option on the New Yorker, just like
the sunroof was offered on some of the 70 corporate models as a
"quiet" option. A close friend had a 1970 Charger SE/RT with one
of the 9 sunroof installed on Chargers that year and his was the
only SE/RT with one.

Elijah,
>From what I have understood, the sure brake system was an
Imperial only option. My 72 parts manual lists the parts for
Imperial only.

I have a "fresh" '73 Imperial 4dr with that system on it if
any one is interested in it???
Also can anyone tell me what other years and models that
system would fit on???
The SureBrake four wheel anti-lock braking system was the
first four wheel ABS offered on an American car.
It was made available in 1971 on Imperial and the Chrysler
New Yorker. It was also offered in 1972 and 1973, again on
Imperial and New Yorker.
An article describing and testing the system is available on
the club's website at
http://www.imperialclub.com/Articles/71RoadTest/index.htm
Another article with a road test of the SureBrake system
installed in a '72 Imperial is available on the club's website
at http://www.imperialclub.com/Articles/72PopularScience/
The system is also described in the Chrysler Features albums
for '71, and '72, also available on our club's website:

That's some great stuff, eh? :o) Remember that everything
on the club's website is FREE! Getting it there, however, is
the result of a lot of hardwork and monetary investment by a
group of dedicated volunteers. We've got more great material
lined up, so help us keep adding this invaluable content to the
club's website by making a contribution. Just visit
