Re: IML: Question of the Day

["Bill Watson" <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not fond of the 'gilles' on the side of the 1969 and prefer the full-width
light arrangement on the 1970-71.

The 1970 grille looks cleaner than the 1971 without the fancy covers on the
headlamp doors of the 1971.   And I like the Imperial block letters on the
rear bumper as opppsed to the "IMPERIAL by Chrysler" on back of the 1971.

Of course, if anyone came up to me with any 1969-71 Imperial and said,
"Here, it'e yours"  Take it", I wouldn't say no.  Just my warped tastes in
auto styling.

Why the 1970 LeBaron vs. a 1969 or a 1971?

"> ...a 1961 Desoto Adventurer convertible (red w/matching leather interior"

Now that would be a dream as the last DeSoto convertible was built in 1959
and the last Adeventirer in 1960. Unique greille, though.

My own list would include seven Imperials -

1970 LeBaron 4-door hardtop
1968 Crown convertible
1958 LeBaron
1955 4-door sedan
1951 convertible
1941 Crown Special
1932 or 33 Custom Imperial

Plus a few others -
1968 Monaco 500 convertible
1966 Studebaker Daytona (turquoise with white roof & interior)
1962 Dart 440 Sportsweep hardtop with bucket seats
1958 Dodge Mayfair hardtop
1958 Packard Hawk
1956 Packard Patrician
1953 Dodge Mayfair sedan (with Hy-Drive)
1941 Packard Clipper
1939 Graham Supercharger (aka Sharknose)
1934 Chrysler Airflow Six
1932 Graham Bluestreak 8

And for those days when gas is more than the wallet can support -
1984 Renault Fuego Turbo (black with tinted windows)
1969 Sunbeam Alpine GT
1966 Sunbeam Minx
1949-51 Morris Oxford (maroon)
1958-62 Renault 4CV

Would also need something bigger than a six-car garage with attached
bedroom.
