1955-1983: Chrysler Corporation advised state licensing bureaus that beginning in 1955, the Imperial was to be registered as a separate make.

It was an attempt to compete directly with GM's Cadillac and Ford's Lincoln distinct luxury-focused marques. Frequently and erroneously referred to as the "Chrysler Imperial", the cars had no "Chrysler" badging anywhere on them, and were a separate, distinct marque, just as Lincoln and Cadillac were for GM and Ford.
The early 1980s Imperial was an attempt to reinvent the Imperial as a
personal luxury car
. This came about after
Lee Iacocca
took the helm at Chrysler, as he had been instrumental in creating the successful
Lincoln Mark series
for this market while he was at Ford in the late 1960s. Although the company was facing bankruptcy, Iacocca decided that "a new flagship would assure the public that Chrysler had a future."
[28]
During the design of the car it was intended to be named
Chrysler LaScala
.
[29]
However, when the car finally appeared, it was marketed simply as an
Imperial
, and the Chrysler name was not used.

For 1981, the top level sedan was the
Chrysler New Yorker
with the special "Fifth Avenue" trim package, introduced for 1979. The 1981 coupe was branded "Imperial" but with no model name, while the sedan was branded as "Chrysler."
The new Imperial was a smaller, two-door only package, sharing its wheelbase chassis with the second generation
Chrysler Cordoba
and
Dodge Mirada
. Neither a convertible nor a 4-door version was available, though conversions were made of both by 3rd party companies. The bustle-back appearance was an attempt at an early 1980s luxury car appearance that was briefly popular, with Chrysler drawing inspiration from its 1937–1939
Chrysler Imperial
sedans.
