Ah, the sound of Imperial

["Rog & Jan van Hoy" <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, but what speaks more powerfully than the name
"Chrysler," a self-made man who accomplished his vision?  A
real modern-day historical figure.

"Chrysler Imperial," has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
Like Cadillac Eldorado or Lincoln Continental.

I'll duck now as you throw brickbats.

| EXCELLENT discussion-point you brought up about the

| Lincoln bespeaks "American solidity and strength".
| Cadillac (and LaSalle) 'reference' a kind of
