Salem Chrysler-Plymouth - 1970s - Dayton, Ohio


   

As to Imperial limousines, Armbruster-Stageway did some after the last of the Ghias were built, but a few others were built by different firms in the 1970's. Salem Chrysler-Plymouth in Dayton, Ohio built an Imperial stretch limo in its own body shop in the early 1970's, and while I never saw the car, I did see the replacement for it, which was an Eagle (later known as Phaeton) conversion of a 1974 Imperial, or a '75 New Yorker Brougham.
