Chrysler Imperial Engines and Transmissions

Every Chrysler Imperial engine here is a large gasoline V8, tuned for quiet, unhurried torque rather than high revs. The powertrain drives the rear wheels through an automatic transmission, so the car pulls away smoothly and cruises calmly, while the heavy drivetrain and thirsty fuelling are part of the character.
