I think John and Hugh are correct. For all the demo derby people out
there, you
need not bother with the old 50's, 60's or 70's models, they are too
hard to
find. Just go after the 90-93 Imperials for your derbys, they are
just as
strong, but far more plentyful. They get better gas mileage too. In
fact, any
90's K-car will be the ultimate demo derby car and smash the
competition.
Provided you can find an "Imperial" name plate out there and stick it
on the
fender (make sure it does not fall off during the event, or your car is
regressed to a normal K-car again, and all these chevy wagons will
smash you!)

Quoting "John T. Folden" <nedloftj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
I think Hugh with his '58 would attest that no year Imperial is safe
from this type of thing. Indeed, in my experience it has a lot more to
do with the position of the car and the weight involved.

A '70 Imperial, yes. A '90? Built like any other
modern car, as you found out!
