"Chrysler" Imperial

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I almost hate to mention this, but since it has resurfaced, didn't Chrysler 
Corporation once again add the name "Chrysler" to the Imperial in 1971 or 1972? 
I seem to remember that this happened during the fuselage years. In fact I 
remember seeing several Imperials back then that had this nomenclature on the 
trunk lid.
