TL;DR: Imperial diecast models in 1:18 from Road Signature reproduce Chrysler's standalone 1960s luxury marque, an accessible entry into American road-cruiser collecting. Diecast construction at an approachable price point suits collectors building a broad Vintage Classics shelf rather than chasing investment-grade rarity.
Imperial existed as its own marque within the Chrysler stable for two decades, competing directly against Cadillac and Lincoln with size, chrome and presence rather than European restraint.
Chrysler's Answer to Cadillac
Running Imperial separately from Chrysler was itself a statement of ambition, and the cars that resulted leaned into full-size American luxury conventions of the 1960s: long wheelbases, generous chrome and interiors built for comfort over sportiness.
Road Signature's Accessible Approach
Road Signature has built its range around accessible diecast pricing for American classics rather than premium hand-finishing, which makes Imperial an approachable entry point for collectors curious about the marque without committing to investment-tier spending.
A Shelf-Building Subject
Imperial sits naturally alongside other full-size American Vintage Classics, and its accessible price point makes it easy to build breadth across a decade rather than chasing a single hero piece.
- 1:18 scale captures the marque's full-size road presence.
- Diecast construction keeps entry cost approachable.
