Chrysler Imperial Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1926–1930) — First Generation
The first-generation Chrysler Imperial set the brand's luxury tone, offering open-topped Cabrio and Phaeton bodies built for comfortable long-distance travel in an era when refinement mattered as much as outright speed.
The Chrysler Imperial engine in examples such as the 4.7 MT is a large-displacement gasoline unit, paired with a manual transmission driving the rear wheels. This straightforward powertrain favours smooth, unhurried pulling power over high revs, which suits the heavy Cabrio and Phaeton bodies well.
