The C-22 Royal/Royal Windsor line carried the 241.5-cid six from 1938 and rode an unchanged wheelbase,though a long sedan and limousine were added on a 136-inch platform. Topping the line was the C-24 Custom Imperial: two long sedans and one limo on a 144-inch-wheelbase. All eight-cylinder offerings used the same 323.5-cid powerplant, with 130-138 bhp depending on the model. Who says you can't be sharp and homey at the same time? Thus, we have a team of experienced professionals who help to deliver the project on time with supreme quality. But to the architect who lives in this modern-decor setting, this unit offers an irresistible opportunity to express her colorful personal style. Depending on whom you talk to, dining rooms are going, gone, popular again, or popular only with those who entertain formally. One thing's certain: Large eat-in kitchens, dining rooms adjacent to kitchens, and open-plan rooms with an area devoted to food preparation and enjoyment are big draws. Engineered Wood in Master bedroom & Doubly-charged vitrified tiles in other rooms. One of the most attractive elements in this space is the use of wood and wood veneers in a high-gloss lacquered finish that shows off the naturally lovely grain of the wood.

Heartwood, which is cut from the center of the tree, is strong and naturally resistant to rot that can develop when wood comes in contact with water and soil. Small spaces need special treatment when it comes to design. In this space, the design goes beyond special to the realm of spectacular thanks to luxurious materials and artful accents. Brilliant cobalt, yellow, violet, red, and other paint box hues vibrate throughout the space, but there's just enough white to keep the look under control. Consider the chic monochromatic look used in this room. On the next page, take a look at a few pieces that might work in with your decor. A massive work island, topped in variegated granite, is already a focal point. Depending on your desire for privacy, you may opt for no window covering at all or one that stacks unobtrusively -- Roman shades are chic with any decorating style, and pleated shades work with soft contemporary or Asian-inspired settings. Once the inspection is complete, and any unfinished or improperly installed construction details found in the deck are repaired or satisfactorily complete, the roof application can begin. Planners also considered a "roof incorporating flippers," probably indented sections that telescoped back or lifted when the door was opened.

Polished concrete floors, plain painted drywall, and an exposed steel truss and metal deck roof system are faithful to the stripped-down approach of modern style. Shades and tints of indigo, from the palest ice-blue to the darkest navy, are used with strategic infusions of black and white. You can enjoy a similar effect with glossy black ceramic tiles, glass mosaic tiles, glass serving pieces, and, of course, all the shiny stainless-steel appliances and cookware you can use. Keep appealing architectural elements if they work (skimpy doorways, no; tiny hexagonal tiles, yes), but upgrade appliances for performance and energy savings. Japanese art and furniture work beautifully with modern elements to enhance the sense of sleekness and serenity. Sleeping areas are tucked on top of the kitchen and bath, while the rest of the loft is left open for a sense of spaciousness. A separate entrance leads to the three lofts in the building, and each unit has a sense of airiness despite having few exterior windows. A more significant change involved the Town & Country, which was no longer a wagon but a separate series of six- and eight-cylinder sedans and convertibles.

The returning two-door Ranch Wagon was trimmed similarly to the Custom sedans. The multi-slope design handles wind and rain better than other styles, making it a smart choice for storm-prone areas. Taking down a ceiling isn't technically a floor plan alteration, but it can certainly transform a room, making it appear larger and brighter. Large planters can be particularly useful as privacy screens when filled with tall or bushy plants or when combined with a vertical trellis. Overall, the '49 Chryslers were ornate, with massive chrome-laden grilles, prominent brightwork elsewhere, and curious vertical taillights except on Crown Imperials (which were spared the gaudy devices). Other Chryslers relied on the 440 with added emission controls that sapped power, which was down to 215 bhp by '73 -- though that was in more-realistic SAE net measure, not the old gross rating. For all this grandstanding, the Regal T Type was always a peripheral seller and the GN almost invisible (only 215 of the '82s, about 2000 for '84, even fewer for 1985-87). Still, they were great fun, even if Buick wasn't the place one expected to find a modern muscle car.
