Here is my 1983 Imperial.
It is the first new car I bought. I bought this car from the dealer's stock, since production had already ended. It was the color that I wanted, so I was lucky in that respect.
Chrysler built these cars from 1981 to 1983 inclusive. It was derived from the Cordoba / Mirada. The original prototype was created by a contract design company that converted a Dodge Mirada. (There was an article, published several months ago in a car magazine, about this company - they also built the original Prowler prototype . - But I digress...)
Production in 1983 was 1427 units, which make this a very rare car. The total production, over the three year period, was 10,981 units.
The Imperial were built with very few extra-cost options. This is not to say they were all the same, since the buyer had a choice of stereo systems, wheels, and interior materials. One of the extra costs options was a factory moonroof, which my car does not have. |
