I almost hate to mention this, but since it has resurfaced, didn't Chrysler Corporation once again add the name "Chrysler" to the Imperial in 1971 or 1972? I seem to remember that this happened during the fuselage years. In fact I remember seeing several Imperials back then that had this nomenclature on the trunk lid.
