1956 Imperial

Cadillacs aplenty in this series, and a few Lincolns, but how about Chrysler's top-of-the-line marque? I'd been seeing this '56 Imperial around town for years, but only recently was I able to capture it holding still for the camera in a downtown parking space. I'm pretty sure it lives on the island, but it's either hiding on a side street I haven't checked or sleeps in a garage. This 52-year-old is in incredible original condition- not a flawless show car, but as close as you're going to see in a car this old that sees regular street use.

Most folks call these cars Chrysler Imperials, but Imperial was a separate brand during the 1950s. Things got more muddled later on when the name was resurrected in the early 1980s, but in 1956 you had two choices: Imperial or Crown Imperial.

welcome, thank you for stopping by and taking a look at this blog. do i think that i am important? no,i do not,i am just an average person with an average life. married, father of three, i do have a masters degree. i have spent twenty years in the military, thirty years total in the department of defense, i have a published book of poetry. i am not a democrat or a republican, i always vote a split ticket depending on the individual candidates and the issues. my fight is against lies and hypocrisy. some of what you will find here is new, some discussion of the current events, a sense of history, and a review of events in historical context. and some are my thoughts and view as i looked upon the world as these things happened. an introduction to my poetry, and my philosophy, hope you will find some of it to your liking, or to your disgust even. i intend to expose the lies the politicians tell us, and the lies we have been told by the gods and the prophets, current and old.
