The Chrysler Imperial Eight incorporated many cutting edge engineering principles in the engine and chassis design. Floating power, a revolutionary new engine suspension system makes the Chrysler Imperial smooth and quiet. A new automatic clutch, eliminating the necessity for depressing the clutch, makes driving supremely simple. Chrysler Imperial free wheeling is an entirely separate unit at the rear of the transmission. When you are freewheeling, the gears are at a standstill, disconnected from both the engine and the rear wheels. The Chrysler Imperial high-compression engine develops 125 horsepower.

The Chrysler Imperial, introduced in 1926, was Chrysler's top-of-the-line vehicle for much of its history. Models were produced with the Chrysler name until 1954, and again from 1990 to 1993. The company positioned the cars as a prestige marque to rival Cadillac, Continental, Lincoln, Duesenberg, Pierce Arrow, Cord, and Packard.[1] According to Antique Automobile, "The adjective ‘imperial’ according to Webster's Dictionary means sovereign, supreme, superior or of unusual size or excellence. The word imperial thus justly befits Chrysler's highest priced model.

The Chrysler Imperial was redesigned in 1931. The car received a new 384.84-cubic inch (6308.85 cc)[12] straight-eight engine. Marketing materials for this generation of Imperial referred to the car as the "Imperial 8", in reference to the new in-line 8-cylinder engine. The engine would be found in many other Chrysler vehicles. The Custom Imperial, in addition to rust-proof fenders, automatic heater control, and safety glass, was fitted with fine custom bodies by several luxury car coach builders of the era.[4] These were custom built to specification, and were variously equipped with anything the customer desired--even a Dictaphone.[11]

The redesign also saw the introduction of new wire wheels that became a standard wheel treatment until the 1940s. Stock car driver Harry Hartz set numerous speed records with an Imperial sedan at Daytona Beach, Florida. It was introduced shortly after the Rolls-Royce Phantom II, Mercedes-Benz 770, Packard Eight, Duesenberg Model J, Cadillac Series 355, and Lincoln K-series appeared in the 1930s.

The Imperial's new engine was slightly larger than the company's standard straight 6. It was a 288.6 cu in (4.7 L)[5] six-cylinder with seven bearing blocks and pressure lubrication of 92 brake horsepower (69 kW). Springs were semi-elliptic in the front. The car set a transcontinental speed record in the year it was introduced, driving more than 6,500 miles (10,460 km) in the week. The car was chosen as the pace car for the 1926 Indianapolis 500.

When the second generation Imperial was introduced in 1931, the first generation was given minor updates and was called the Chrysler Six.[9] In 1920, Mr. Chrysler, who was working at the request of the bankers to make Willys profitable, had auto engineers Owen Skelton, Carl Breer, and Fred Zeder begin work on a new car for Willys, which was often referred to as the Chrysler Six.[10] When Willys encountered financial problems, Walter Chrysler and the three engineers who had been working on the Chrysler Six all moved on to Maxwell-Chalmers where they continued their work, ultimately launching the six-cylinder Chrysler in January 1924.
