And again, while Chrysler had unit body construction for Plymouth, Dodge, and Chrysler, Imperial remained body on frame from 1957-1966. They specifically insisted on body on frame for the Imperial to provide more structural integrity and a better ride for their premium car.


Which is exactly why Ford still uses body on frame construction for the Lincoln Town Car and the Ford Crown Vic. Everything else (trucks excluded) is unit body, which is the crappiest way to build a car, IMHO.
