Re: IML: '75 Imperial and '76 New Yorker Brougham; was New ImperialOpinions Labor of Love?

"weren't they all were LeBarons by then?"  (1975 that is)

No.  The 4 door was a LeBaron and the 2 door was a Crown Coupe.  I may be 
corrected because I do think the full name of the 2 door was Imperial 
LeBaron Crown Coupe.  Regardless, the 4 door was never referred to as a 
Crown anything, just the 2 door.

At that time, I was attempting to trade my '65 Crown Four Door for a better 
'64 Crown Four Door that was on the lot at our downtown 
Plymouth-Chrysler-Imperial dealer. It didn't work out, but the salesman that 
I was negotiating with received a phone call from an irrate lady customer 
who had regularly bought a new Imperial every few years from him. She 
supposedly had a new 1976 car on order, and discovered that there wasn't 
going to be a 1976 Imperial. I remember him arguing with her about the fact 
that she was still going to get her new car, and that even though it was 
going to be a Chrysler New Yorker, it was identical to the car that she 
originally had planned to buy. I don't recall him ever saying to her that 
she was going to save $2,314 on the sale.

I am curious if most of this price difference was due to items being 
optional on the Chrysler that were standard on the Imperial. A 1975 Imperial 
LeBaron (weren't they all were LeBarons by then?) would have been a loaded 
car, while a base model NYB may not have been unless the same items were 
ordered as optional equipment. Just curious.
