In mid 70's when I was working in garage. A gentleman brought one in for repairs. I called it a Chrysler and he corrected me. That, just me.
The
Chrysler Corporation spun off the
Imperial as a separate luxury make and division in 1955. LeBaron was designated the top-of-the-line
Imperial models from 1956 through 1975.
[1][2][3][4] These cars were
Imperials and did
not include the "Chrysler" nameplate. Vehicles branded "LeBaron" were the top model of the Imperial line, followed by the mid-line "Crown" and a short-lived nameless base model ("Custom" from 1960 until 1963); with "Southampton" being a sub-designation applied to all pillarless hardtops.
The Imperial LeBarons were made to compete directly with competitor's luxury brands that included
Continental,
Cadillac, and
Packard, as was the case during the 1930s.
The last Imperial model was assembled in June 1975, the discontinuation due to dwindling sales.
