the 1973 Imperial was 19.6 feet, 235 inches long, which made it the longest postwar (non-limousine) production car and the third longest production car ever, 4" longer than the 74-76 Pontiac Grand Safari station wagon!

looks like either someone made the car they wanted, OR, they got ahold of one 1959 Imperial 2 door wagon from the factory's prototype car creations

But Steve found that this photo was taken in 1980, in Norway, and a couple other better photos of it were taken
Thanks Steve!

one of the most famous Japanese cars within the borders of Japan, is a '58 Chrysler Imperial, in the late 60s Japanese sci-fi TV-series “Ultra Seven”
Their vehicle: The Pointer 1.
This ultra advanced car was equipped with a range of gadgets which would have made both Batman and James Bond green with envy! Missile launcher, smoke screen equipment, energy shield, radar and not least a jet engine giving the Pointer 1 the ability to reach a topspeed of sensational 365 km/h. Plus its ability to fly, or hover at a standstill as were it a helicopter. Yet despite all of these amazing functions, it could still maneuver easily on ground and on water too.

Wow, 1971 promotional items from Chrysler for dealerships, and what they hoped a dealership showroom would look like
I'll guess that's an Imperial and a Valiant, or maybe Duster
