The Chrysler Imperial concept car from 2006 is still a looker

This is a big four-door sedan, one with a massive wheelbase, huge interior and large engine. It's thoroughly old school in so many ways, which is why we love it so much.

A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).
