Chrysler Imperial Coupe.
Last Updated:
Since this is the time of the year when most people go nuts, why not imagine a new Chrysler Imperial? Even a 2 door coupe.
I posted a possible new Chrysler Cordoba a few days ago, but this would be a true top-of-the-line Chrysler. Something that’s really “not for everyone”. A big super luxurious 2 door coupe. Of course based on Stelantis’ new STLA large platform, just like the new 2025 Dodge Charger. Another large new coupe that is already about the size of a Mercedes Class S.
A new Imperial would not compete with Bentley or Rolls Royce, unlike the Cadillac Celestiq. No. This would not be cheap but would still be a Chrysler. It would have to be priced a bit below Cadillac and the foreign luxury brands. Chrysler hasn’t had anything new in many years, and people need to be reacquainted with the brand. And what better way to come up with something that will get noticed everywhere it drives? Like the VW ID.Buzz and even the Cybertruck.
The Imperial used to be the top-of-the-line Chrysler from 1926 to 1993. It was even its own brand from 1955 to 1975.
The last Imperial 2-door coupe was the 1981/83 model. A rather cheesy looking car that adopted that “bustle back” design trend started by the 2nd generation Cadillac Seville, and followed by the Lincoln Continental. The name “Imperial” came back from 1990 to 1993 for a sedan, competing with the FWD Lincoln Continental and Cadillac Sedan DeVille of that era.
A new Imperial based on the STLA platform could be something a bit retro-futuristic vaguely inspired by the 1981 model.
Of course, we all know these big-door luxurious coupes are gone, and so are people who used to buy them.
However, there’s nothing wrong with a halo car.
Vince – I’m not understanding why you’re continuing to post all of these fantasy vehicles that are never going to actually exist. What is the point?
Fantastic Imperial. I have always dreamed of a return of a top line Imperial.
Why companies do not build good cars , and charge enough for them : QUALITY, is something not understood by many .
Trucks , dam trucks!
Like little kids playing in sandbox.
Ban ‘ Anonymous ‘ for harassing thir excellent site .
It’s about possibilities , not a closed mind , of negativity.
Still ok maybe needs a little work
Try 4 door.
Electric powered car’s and trucks and suvs Are EXTREME JUNK DEATH TRAPS!
Excellent design, excellent idea I only pray Chrysler brings this one to the public!
Keep up the good work and keep up the good fight!
The Imperial is the top of the line Chrysler!
It would be nice to see the Imperial coming back. If it is designed this well I would buy one.
The Crown Imperial could be the 4-door.
I like it I hope Chrysler is watching and gives you credit for it
It would probably be a rebadged Italian made hunk of junk just like everything else they do anymore. No thanks.
It DEFINITELY makes a statement. As a guy in his mid 50s who just paid off his 2018 VW New Beetle you don’t have to twist my arm to go ‘retro’ on an auto. I think that Imperial is one [potentially] sexy ride. The rim size is a bit much; but thinking on the Caddie Celestiq these proposed lines are ‘in line’ right along side it.
I think having a new Imperial would be wonderful.Climbing in and out of $75.000.00 trucks iss getting old.
Where’s my comment?
