2018 Chrysler Imperial short history
The history of this legendary model begins in 1926. Company released a brand-new full-size luxury car, which will continue to be produced until 1954. During these years, company released six generations of it. In 1955, Imperial came as a separate make. As Imperial brand, this model was in production until 1983. During these years, we also saw six generations. After shorter brake, another model came 1990, but under Chrysler’s badge. However, this model had very short life.

2018 Chrysler Imperial rumors
Rumors about 2018 Chrysler Imperial are present for some time. According to them, we will once again see this nameplate on the streets, after almost 25 years of brake. What to expect from new model is still unknown. At this point, we must rely on rumors and our own predictions. If we consider that company already has a full-size car in offer, it is very possible that 2018 Chrysler Imperial will use the same platform. It is an LX platform, which already underprints Chrysler 300. In fact, most of the parts will be shared with this model. When it is about styling, there are several reports that many details from 2006 concept could be used. However, this concept is 10 years old and we are pretty sure that company has some new design solutions for this model.
