克莱斯勒皇冠

    克莱斯勒皇冠身上的电镀元素相对较少，但它仍然是一锅失败创意的大杂烩。

    这款车四个大灯的上面是厚实的眉条，“新潮外观”式尾鳍和瞄准镜似的尾灯也是标配。用户可以选择一款带有备胎架的行李箱盖，这款行李箱盖设计得俗不可耐，它来自克莱斯勒1955年的FliteSweep原型车。不过买主如果选择了这种行李箱盖，则必须等一年才能等到这款“银冠”（Silvercrest）车顶。这种车顶的特色是前部为不锈钢，后部为与车体同色的顶篷。

    克莱斯勒原本指望通过这款皇冠轿车与凯迪拉克（Cadillac）一争高低，但克莱斯勒一直没有为这款轿车建立单独的销售渠道，因此它的销量也仅为凯迪拉克的一个零头。

Chrysler Imperial Crown

    While it is comparatively devoid of chrome, the Imperial Crown was a rolling mishmash of unfortunate design ideas.

    Quad headlights under heavy brows, Forward Look tailfins, and gunsight tail lamps were standard. The ultra-kitschy FliteSweep Deck Lid with its spare tire bulge was an option, but buyers had to wait a year for the Silvercrest roof, which featured a stainless steel front with a rear body-colored canopy.

    The Imperial was supposed to compete head to head with Cadillac, but Chrysler never got around to setting up separate distribution for it, so sales remained only a fraction of the GM brand's.
