Chrysler Imperial Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1937–1939) — Fourth Generation
The fourth-generation Chrysler Imperial carried the brand's flagship ambitions across Cabrio, Coupe and Sedan bodies, pairing generous proportions with the relaxed, torque-led driving manners that American luxury buyers of the era expected.
A representative Chrysler Imperial engine here is the 5.3-litre gasoline unit seen in the 5.3 MT Cabrio and Coupe, both using a manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. That rear-wheel-drive powertrain favours effortless low-speed pulling power over outright revs, so the transmission is rarely worked hard in normal cruising.
