RE: IML: stripper imperial?

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Next time you hear this "oversized New Yorker" comment regarding a 67 or
later Imperial, invite the person to take a ride in both cars and then
comment.  The Imperial has a rubber cushioned "K" frame to support the
running gear which makes the driving and riding experience totally different
from the New Yorker.  The Imperial is a luxury ride through and through,
regardless of the unit body/frame construction.

I still remember one of my father's colleagues looking over Dad's new '68 
Imperial. He walked around, looked it over inside and out and said something

like, "This is not an Imperial. It's just an oversized New Yorker. They 
stopped building Imperials after 1966, when they gave up on full frames."

The guy still had a black '64, '65 or '66 Imperial he had bought new. My 
father just shrugged his shoulders.:-)


I have heard automotive enthusiasts make similar statements over the years. 
Let them have their opinions. Their opinions are subjective. My '68 Crown is

real! ;-)
