Background

Three Chrysler Imperial Parade Phaetons were produced in 1952 by Chrysler as ceremonial vehicles. They were styled by Virgil Exner and were in many ways a preview of the new "100 Million Dollar" styling that would debut in 1955 on the newly separate Imperial marque and on other full-size Chrysler Corporation Cars. The "Imperial Parade Phaeton" moniker came along only later; when first publicized, Chrysler named the car the "Chrysler Phaeton."
