Interesting how Chrysler brags about its torsion air suspension as if they invented it. Packard was the first to use a torsion bar suspension, and they used it on all 4 wheels. Chrysler only used it on the front wheels.

Dear JimmyCFO,

You are off-base. While we appriciate your corrections, it is entirely inappropriate to make your comments in a rude fashion.

Please help us all keep the 'net appropriately polite.

Unrealistic demo. If you were to drive on a road that bad, wouldn't you slow down?

It's a commercial, when did you last believe everything you heard in a commercial? Remember the cigarette ads? All nice looking steel though!

i'm calling bullshit on the first bump test...they are supposed to be going all the same speed..yet when they slow the film down all other brands seem to out pace the chryslers..if all of them are at the same speed then slow the film down to the same speed then how can all other brands go faster over the coarse then the chryslers????..you see the rear of the cars as they pass by before you see the rear of all the chryslers ,,how is that possible at the same speeds??..its not

[yourallbrainwashed]

@Mrphatbastard1 Much as we loved "Uncle Tom" he was partial to Chrysler

for the same reason lots of people are Independents these days. He wanted

an alternative to GM or Ford, as Independents want an alternative to Democrat

or Republican. If you notice the drivers of the Mopars seem to be using the

brakes to lessen the pitch as they come over the humps. That's not too hard

to do with a little practice. I don't begrudge Chrysler any sales they could make

back then though, road tests or no.

@45Machine Yes, and the Buick with air-bags blew one under harsh bumps! Give me torsion-bar suspension every day of the week, it is far superior to all-coil. Even the 1960 Chrysler products "Unit-Body" was far superior than anything else on the road. The Imperial didn't get it at first, but later it was success story for the company with cars that were really roadable!

[45Machine]

@BudWiser999 Yeah did you see the body flex on the Cadillac ? that is why the door and trunk poped the whole car deformed if I remember correctly this is an x frame car no match for the full boxed frame of the Imperial !!!!!
