Imperial was never a carmaker, it was a Chrysler product produced approx from 1930s to late "80s.
No Imperial WAS very much a separate brand in the Chrysler line up - just as distinct as Lincoln is from Ford and Cadillac is from any other GM brand.
@@jamesclarke8205 Was never meant to imply that Imperial was not Chrysler's top luxury car brand, only that they were never an independent manufacturer like Dodge or coach builder Lebaron which nameplate became closely associated with Chrysler. Just like Fisher Bros provided bodies for numerous carmakers pre-GM.
Merveilleux souvenirs des annees 50 ou ces chefs doeuvres roulaient encore sur les ChampsElysees
I can’t believe you didn’t include Pierce Arrow
Horch: 1899-1940... And then they show a Horch 1948... ? Several of these brands are not forgotten, but design classics, and as such present in many books about design, on postcards etc. That certainly is true for the Hispano Suizas, the Cords, the Delahayes.... They frequently appear in magazines such as Classic Cars, on websites etc. The list is also rather incomplete, even for a top 10; as a Belgian, I would have added Minerva (Belgian brand but created by a Dutch man - just like Citroen by the way), which produced cars that rivaled with Rolls Royce.
Horch later became Audi, and was one of the Auto Unions brands. Where’s Marmon ( with their 16 cylinder engines) and Packard in this list?
The names are a pun. Horch is German for hear, and was the surname of the man behind the operation. Audi is the Latin for hear (think of audio). When Horch sold the company that bore his name, he was of course unable to use that for any cars he made, so he called them Audi instead.
While I agree that Duesenberg belongs at number 1, I'm surprised you didn't include Packard. Borgward over Packard? come on now!
You got that right!
I believe cord Owned Duesenberg
Spot on! Borgward were never luxury, but Packard and Pierce-Arrow were the very top of the US makes.
Nice to be reminded of the Banana Squeezers.
You forgot a very important one..."Packard"
And talbot
He also missed Jowett Cars Limited, that’s a forgotten and extinct British car manufacturer
sorry, but Packard was hardly a forgotten brand
@@christopherrodmell1694 Jowett are largely forgotten, but were never luxury cars. The Javelin brought a bit of modernity into the otherwise dull British lower-middle class cars of the early 50s, but no more luxury than a medium size Vauxhall or Ford.
The real missing car is the Packard, for so long the leading US make.
WOW great video !!!!!
Thanks for watching
I like it a lot . And most of thos care I have seen so cool !!!!
Like the music.
Duesenberg is not at all forgotten. It is certainly a great marque though, that's probably the reason why you put it number one. But Hotchkiss is so much more forgotten than any marque here on the list that you forgot to include it. ;-) I mention Hotchkiss, but if you look up the list of former French car manufactureres, I'm pretty sure you never heard about most of them.
Delage.
And so many others :)
Thanks for watching
Borgward I think even the company instantly forgot as a luxury car....
sweet rides all the way baby
Franklin. Marmon. DuPont. Cunningham. Daniels. Peerless. McFarlan. I would include Duesenberg, Pierce-Arrow, and Packard, except they aren't overlooked by anybody any more than Hispano-Suiza is. And this is just for US top-grade cars. Delage? Armstrong-Siddley?
🤝👍👍👍👌
Thanks for watching
👏👏👏
How comes Armstrong Sidley, Humber, Napier, Tatra and Sunbeam are not on the list? Yes, I would say that nearly all of the car makes featured were luxury brands but I would say that they are not forgotten. But alas Borgward did not start out as a luxury car maker, infact they tried to make an upmarket car which flawed, and it didn't help that they went out of business at the hands of failing rival car maker BMW's accountants! If that had not happened then we might still have Borgward around today. Their cars were held in high regard.
Thanks for watching
Tatra still exists
BORGWARD ??? LUXURY ??? are you serious ?
I agree. A good middle class car, but not a luxury one at all.
"Imperial" wasn't a "brand". It was a model produced by Chrysler.
Yes but no, imperial was a brand division between 1955 and 1975, so before and after this dates, yes it was a model of chrysler
Imperial WAS a brand--although for 30 years it was a Chrysler model, in the mid-fifties it was made a separate brand, with a totally different body
Imperial was initially a model, then became a luxury division of Chrysler, to compete with Cadillac and Lincoln
Imperial actually was a brand in its own right, 55-75
Forgotten by whom? Perhaps I'm an exception, but I knew them all.
By the way, that last Stutz you showed had nothing but the name to connect it to the earlier cars
Exactly! I guess it was some sort of custom car or some such. It certainly had squat to do with real Stutz cars.
GM platform & Pontiac engine I think. Not to be confused with Harry Stutz's cars.
@@thegypsyman9043 Thanks. Wikipedia says simply based on a Pontiac, which supports your comment, but gives no detail.
@@thegypsyman9043 My understanding is that what a pedestrian walking down the street could see was Stutz, and everything else was a Pontiac, with its variation on GM's B series body.
@@thegypsyman9043 Yes, the revival of the Stutz name used the GM B series chassis and body, with its own panel work. Some of that was gaudy and the others very to extremely gaudy. The engines were Pontiac with Stutz using their own rocker covers with their brand name on them to try to disguise the origin.
It would be nice to see country of origin.
Send whoever it was chose the music for this vid to the unemployment line quick, fast, and in a hurry, cuz damn.....
there is one brand that is even more forgotten than all of these and has made some of the most luxurious cars ever, but i can't remember the name... Borgward btw is not forgotten, it's currently designing and marketing cars produced in China
Oops. Me thinks that was a Mercer not a stuz bearcat.
Remember them all well, except the Borgward.
Yep they were German but hardly luxury of the level otherwise illustrated. At their demise there were fields of them unsold. This was sad as they were a good quality vehicle commensurate with Volvo but that was their level. My Father had a Duesenburg as a staff car in Germany after WWII which was, he said a splendid ride. It endeared itself to him along with his driver Evans when a tyre blew at over 70 mph on the autobahn. It pulled up straight and the only drama was Evans knuckles whitened as he held the wheel!
👍👌
Thanks for watching
... love the classics. I am the owner of a BMW 1949 release
Duesenbergs are not exactly forgotten, nor are Stutz. Borgward cars were never luxury models - a few cuts above Open and Ford Taunus, rather below Mercedes.
Of course, that should have been Opel
While some of these could be called "Forgotten": (certainly known to only a few): Isotta-Fraschini, Horch (became a lead founder of Auto Union / Audi), Alvis, Delahaye... Others are emphatically not 'Forgotten': Duesenberg, Cord... and some maybe-ish: Hispano-Suiza, Stutz. And i agree with other commenters that Borgward was not a luxury brand.
For some largely forgotten American luxury cars: how about: Marmon (silky smooth V-16; and the first Indy 500 winner), Peerless (sort-of like a Pierce-Arrow), Dupont, Locomobile, American Rolls-Royce (briefly Rolls were also built in USA. But American customers wanted the British ones for more status.)
@@carlcushmanhybels8159 Peerless (now product beer), Piece Arrow and Packart was called "The three P"
I wish what country the companies were from.
You never mentioned the Armstrong- Siddley.
Armstrong Siddeley were good quality cars, but save for the 5 litre and its successor the Siddeley Special were not really luxury models. In the 1930's the smaller models were dubbed as being cars for the daughters of gentlemen; it was a market they filled well.
And what about Packard?
Borgward was no luxury car. And Alvis was also known more as a sporty than luxury car.
Compare: 1:12 & 1:26 . Anything strange?
How about Peerless or Marmon?
Not as well known today, but were considered automotive masterpieces in their era.
Humber princess
Maybach?
A division of Mercedes Benz isn't it? Think the cars were originally named after founder of Maybach company. Just as dept store magnate J. L. Hudson was one of the founders of Hudson motorcars.
Wilhelm Maybach was the founder of Maybach Motorenwerke GmbH. He produced engines for the Zeppelin airships. His son and successor Karl Maybach produced luxury cars in the 1920s and 30s. Daimler Benz AG took over Maybach in the1960s. Today the name Maybach is used by Mercedes-Benz for the Pullman version of their S-class cars.
The word 'forgotten' is misleading methinks
Horch = Audi
It's so fast one cannot edad the mame ir the car whilst the ver y car Picture it's already caniche. Puaj!

Forgotten... Horch is german for audi which is latin for hear
They’re the same company
Yikes
Yes, a little pun. Horch had been forced to sell his company and under the contract of sale was barred from selling cars under his own name. So he chose the Latin equivalent and gained some useful publicity.
It’s amazing so many beautiful cars that are not here anymore sooner breaker was one of the great cars I am you have beautiful cars. Henry Ford were so far back and probably stole every design from everybody else. He was not a very original person. Rachel that model T so you have money to do a lot of things that probably some of the others didn’t have. And the American taste in the world taste we’re so fickle. Take France is the Tucker so far ahead all the other cars it was unreal. But when you have one or you can destroy anybody around you and they really did a good job on Mr. Tucker
As far as can be determined, there was nothing wrong with the Tucker car. If anything, it was a good 30-40 years ahead of it's time!
Singer cars
Never luxury cars, and deservedly forgotten
Peerless?
