Re: IML: Jay Leno Mentions Imperial

["Bill Watson" <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Y-body, FWD Fifth Avenue was introduced in 1990 and was dropped at the
end of 1993.

The M-body RWD Fifth Avenue was introduced in 1982 and dropped at the end of
1989.

The R-body RWD Fifth Avenue was introduced in 1979 and dropped at the end of
1981.

Since the discussion concerned the FWD 1990-93 Imperials, the FWD Fifth
Avenue of 1990-93 was the only Fifth Avenue pertinent to the discussion.
