Imperial Custom Limousine

There is a conservative elegance and an exclusive smartness about the Imperial, by Chrysler, that will be sincerely appreciated by those who are gifted and trained in the art of judging finely between the good and the best.
The lines are beautifully deigned and gracefully streamlined. Chrome embellishment is used in conservative good taste. The interiors are exquisite, with lavish appointments, handsomely executed. Everything conceivable for the comfort, safety, and well-being of the driver and passengers is included. And beneath this charming exterior are the finest, the longest list of notable engineering features, and the most brilliant performance to be found in any car today, whether built here in America or abroad.
 
The Town Limousine has the beautiful, smart and distinctive exterior lines as the Imperial Sedan. The chief difference between these two body types is in the glass partition,which separates the font and rear compartments of the Town Limousine, so that privacy may be had in the rear compartment. The glass partition is electrically operated, and can be raised or lowered by pressing the button conveniently located on each door panel. The windows, also, are electrically operated, with a separate motor for each window. The illustrations are eloquent evidence of the grandeur, the spaciousness, and the luxurious comfort Chrysler stylists have achieved in these superb interiors of such charming good taste.
