Walter P. Chrysler’s avowed policy of Quality Standardiza- tion predestined the Imperial «“80” to this preference. For the Chrysler standard of quality is unique in the annals of motor- car manufacture. It has its beginning in the true creative genius of Chrysler engineers. It rests in Mr. Chrysler’s personal insistence on the exact and explicit interpretation of their design; in the selec- tion of materials of proven excellence; in undeviating precision of manufacture; in well-nigh infallible tests and inspection. This new kind of quality is standardized in every Chrysler product. And the Imperial «80" is the supreme expression of Chrysler Stand- ardized Quality. shudders of ordinary motoring. ardized Quality.
