My aunt had a 1974 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron 4-door. It was dark red with a white vinyl top and white leather seats. It had every option mentioned here.

Back in the day my parents bought a 1975 Town & Country, new. It was the brochure color and had the optional 400 engine, but not Lean Burn. It had chronic carburetion problems almost from new. It would buck and hesitate when pulling out of our driveway, and sometimes stall out. Then the seatbelt interlock made that even harder to deal with. They had to take it back to the dealer, or their mechanic many times. I remember it started rusting behind the front wheels when it was maybe about 3 years old. But it'd still love to have it today, or another one just like it. I'd also love to have an Imperial. Those interiors are fantastic.

Ashame the build quality was so poor. They were beautiful cars.

If it were a 4bbl car, I can understand that. Chrysler had the TQs set so lean that they always had trouble. Also the orifice spark advance would delay timing so badly that even 2bbl cars would run poorly when cold. The fix was to bypass it.

After decades of reflection, I have determined my top Chrysler Division choices in 1975 would be the Town and Country wagon or a well optioned Newport 4 door sedan. If I was casting my net more widely into the Mopar sea, a Coronet wagon with the most robust Taxi/Police components on offer and a whole school 🐟🐟🐟🐟of Darts and Valiants equipped with Slant 6s would be the catches I'd keep. 😁

I agree with your Town and Country choice 100%. See my earlier comment.

Such a beautiful car, shame they didnt sell better. You can see how they're desperately trying to sell the benefits of how "big" the car is in an era of an oil crisis and downsizing.
@rightlanehog3151 Жыл бұрын
The downsizing of full-size cars did not start until the 1977 model year with GM. In 1975, there were plenty of big cars from FoMoCo and GM with which Mopar was competing.

Interesting that Chrysler would drop the 4 wheel disc set up for 76 when the Imp went away, and Caddy would pick it up on the Eldo. I like these ol C bodies but do yourself a favor and carry a spare ballast resistor with you, oh and DO change the transmission fluid every 30k or so.

Never saw the appeal of these big 70s cars, until I visited my friend Chad in Nevada in 1999, he had a 70s Lincoln Continental TownCar. So much fun to cruise on the desert highways. He was dating this Japanese stripper so when we were cruising around, I would jump in the backseat so they could sit together, irritated him though as I would refer to him as Jeeves. Then she started calling him that. LOL

The announcer said: “Whether it’s IMPERIAL, or one of the Chryslers…” What does that statement TELL you ? That IMPERIAL is NOT a Chrysler!! GET IT ? GOT IT. GOOD!, (PS : Check the VINs : The MAKE CODE is VERY TELLING. C=CHRYSLER. Y= IMPERIAL . TWO SEPARATE MAKES OF CARS.
