Biggest Imperial?

["Woolf,Richard" <richard.woolf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hugh,
 When I mention the biggest production car ever made, I was referring to
length only. My '66 Crown is big, but smaller then my '73. I weighted both
of them where I work, and the '66 was 5440 lbs with no passengers and a 1/4
tank of gas. The '73 came in at 5200 with no passengers and a 1/4 tank of
gas. So length wise the '66 is heaver (probably because body on frame), but
the '73 is longer.

I doubt if we will resolve the biggest American production car issue here.
In passing, at a local Mopar show a guy brought in an enormous Chrysler
sedan which was way longer than my 58.  It was from the late 70s, I think.
But, more to the point, which is the biggest Imperial?  I guess there could
be a variety of ways to consider this.  There is length, width, height and
weight to be considered.  I imagine the predominate statistic would be
length, but the others are not insignificant.  I would not be surprised if
the winner came from the 1920s.  Some of dem cars was big.
