OK...so this was true back in 1959, not 2002, but hopefully my subject line caught some attention. As some of you may know, Chrysler made the bold decision to move Imperial production to their Warren Avenue facility sometime in 1957, 8 or 9. With this move, they created and distributed a press kit. Using one of those original kits, we have created a virtual tour of the plant. Many thanks to Kenyon Wills for sharing this piece of fascinating history with our club. This is relevant to ALL Imperial enthusiasts since it was a bold move by Chrysler management and an important factoid in our beloved marque's history. As many may know, this facility was DeSoto's home, and the move says volumes about Chrysler's commitment to Imperial in the late 50's and their unhappy realization of DeSoto's demise. Chrysler VP and Imperial president, Clare Briggs, had so much enthusiasm for Imperial in those days, that he is quoted in the press kit with the following, "Our decision to open this plant is evidence in our confidence in the future of Imperial. It has won a solid position in the fine car field. We are certain it will gain an even stronger position in the years ahead." Here is the address of the virtual tour and all press release information associated with the new Imperial Warren Avenue production facility: http://www.imperialclub.com/YearbyYear/1960/PressKit/Plant.html Enjoy!
