Imperial to be killed off by Chrysler after 50 years
Chrysler plans to end the Imperial luxury line amid shrinking sales and a shift to smaller cars. The model, once a top seller, has seen a dramatic drop in market share with fewer than 3,000 units sold so far this year. The New Yorker Brougham may absorb its body and design, while four wheel disc brakes and an automatic load leveler become optional.
