Guest Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Great looking car (I'd lose the lowrider looking fender skirts). It will be interesting to see what it brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinky Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 FYI: This is, in fact, a "Custom Imperial" which is considered a 'full classic' by the ccca. This is a rare car. Not Mine! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Skirts are original equipment. It would probably look odd without them. I don't love skirts, but my '41 Limited definitely looks weird without them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Yes, not generally a fan of skirts. Here in SoCal you can "OD" on skirts pretty quickly. Skirts are jammed onto practically every custom, no matter the era, they tend more to identify the owner and area the car is from rather than enhancing the looks. At least the skirts on your '41 seem to flow with the car and actually look like they were designed for that particular model. The '37 Imperial skirts just make the car look butt-heavy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkEE Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 1937 Chrysler styling isn’t my cup of tea, but for those that do like them, here’s more info: http://imperialclub.org/Yr/1937/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '37 Imperial skirts just make the car look butt-heavy: I have to agree. It looks good from every angle but this one, where it seems like the designers had to terminate the rear end too quickly, like it's all bunched up. Another six inches of length between the axle and bumper probably would have cured a lot of ills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
