Re: IML: Le Baron trivia question?

[Christopher H <imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All Imperials were LeBarons in 1974 and 1975, and 1975 the last year before
the Imperial name disappeared for a while.

All was quiet in 1976...

The midsize Chrysler LeBaron and the similar Dodge Diplomat (OK, they were
really compacts since they were based on the F-body Aspen/Volare, but by the
late 1980s that's what we considered a large car!) debuted midyear in 1977
as 1977 models (some say 1977-1/2).

The LeBaron did indeed use the former Imperial eagle medallions all over the
place, and I believe the Imperial never used them again. The 1990s used a
strange (imho) combination of Pentastars and Cadillac wreaths...

The Imperial and LeBaron names have yet to be reunited.
