	Inside the Walter P. Chrysler Museum - review and comments
		Imperials are generally treated as a top-line Chrysler rather than as a separate make, although the basement snack area, which is in a replica of a 1930s MoPar multimake dealership, has Imperial listed as a separate make in the showroom window, which would not have been correct at the time.
		The Chrysler Technical Center and Headquarters are in separate towers that look adjoined at the base, the headquarters tower including the massive glass pentastar seen in early publicity photos, but they are not the totality of the complex, nor is this Chrysler's only engineering area.
		The Chrysler facility is like a small city, and indeed is not much smaller than Detroit's "skyscraper downtown." There are hiking trails, a forest, and a dedicated exit from Route 75, and that's just what is visible.

		For 1924, they do talk about pioneering 4-wheel hydraulic brakes but they end by mentioning the 1927 Imperial 80 as their first true convertible (as opposed to a roadster) without noting that it was first brought out in 1926 (as the E-80, renamed L-80 in 1928).
