The 1957 Imperial was the first production car to have curved side glass. There are only two light bulbs in the '61 Imperial dash - The turn signals at the top of the two pods. The rest is fluorescent green electroluminescent panels - scrape off the black paint, and the whole thing glows.. They use 180-volt electrics, and so do the bright red gauge needles, which also light up like little neon tubes.

My dad’s sister had this car in a hardtop. I remember the fins and those Jetson-like rear taillights with the faux trunk lid spare tire. It was a navy blue color and I just marveled at it sitting in the driveway. She let me sit inside and I saw the steering wheel was different. I was probably 5 years old or so but this car left a lasting impression. When I saw this video, all those memories came alive. I can appreciate it more so as an older guy but my instincts were genuine as a child when I first gazed upon it in her driveway. Chrysler gave designer (Exner?) leeway to do whatever he desired. You can see throughout the car all the little Easter eggs that add up to a stunning display of rolling art. 🇺🇸 Thanks for posting!

Still I wouldn't kick the lady out of the house, it's so beautiful. You mentioned the competition between Cadillac and Lincoln but I think the Chrysler had the others beat. One of the hallmarks of these Land Yachts was how it didn't "dip" down in front when braking, nearly as severe as it's rivals at Ford and GM. When you mentioned "these cars being a favorite at demolition derbies," I cringed and my spine chilled and my heart skipped a couple beats! Hope that don't happen ever again! 😢

Occasionally something from the late fifties and more often early 60s would pop up. They were very impressive even 40 years back, and it upset me somewhat to see them scrapped. The build quality and details were fantastic. Later models just weren't as impressive.
