  Imperial (automobile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imperial was the Chrysler Corporation's prestige automobile brand between 1955 and 1975, with a brief reappearance in 1981-1983.
The Chrysler Imperial had been the company's most luxurious model, and when the company decided to spin off a separate luxury brand, Imperial was the natural choice.
Starting from 1957, Imperials were available in three levels of trim: standard Imperial, Imperial Crown, and Imperial LeBaron (the latter named after a coachbuilder, bought out by Chrysler, that did some of the best work on prewar Chrysler Imperial chassis).

 Coachbult.com - Virgil M Exner
In creating the K-310, Exner developed his "pure automobile" design philosophy in which functional elements of the car were featured instead of being disguised - elements like the wheels, the radiator grille, spare tire storage, taillights, etc. Prior to the K-310, those features had been hidden.
The design and construction of automobile bodies for both touring and competition had been Ghia's foundation for nearly 25 years when World War II brought an abrupt end to Italy's prosperous luxury car market and impassioned love for motorsports.
Although the third generation Imperial lasted until 1963, the era of flamboyant Imperials really ended with Exner's over-the-top 1961 model, which would have been perfectly acceptable in the late 1950s.
