Your Pink 59 Imperial is also in a movie, co-starring with no other than
the Italian Stallion , Sly Stalone . In a good Union movie , that was the family
car. In F.I.S.T.

Subject: Elizabeth Arden Ad (was Re:
IML:Rarest option for 1960)
I've been looking for a copy of that ad for a long time. It was
on eBay
awhile ago, but got too pricey for me. I really don't believe that
is a
photograph of the car in the ad, but rather an exceptional drawing.
So, did
that car actually exist? Does it today?
Before I bought my
'59, I started investigating our website and found that
ad. That clinched
the sale for me as I found it appealing that they were
marketing to women
and that the Imperial was a woman's car (never mind the
'59 ad with the
guy and the golf clubs -LOL). Yes, my '59 is Persian Pink
also, only with
a white roof and it's a Crown.

I don't know about the 1960 Elizabeth Arden case, but I do
know that there
was a 1959 case due to the advertising in Vogue Magazine's
January 1, 1959
edition.
My 1959 Crown is exactly like the one pictured
(Persian Pink with a black
landau and silvercrest stainless roof. I
always suspected that this car was
probably specially ordered for that
national advertising campagne in 21
department stores. This was a 4
page ad and one of these was exactly like
my car, except that the image
used was a Lebaron.
The case shown was limited to "only authorized dealers"
at a cost of $5.00.
It was specially made and designed to fit into the
glove box of a 1959
Imperial. I would love to find one to fit into
the glove box of my '59.
I would suggest that there were "Elizabeth Arden
Edition Imperials", due to
the scope of this promotion. Which begs
the question--Was this perhaps the
very first limited edition or special
edition automobile?
If anyone has a white canvas Elizabeth Arden case,
please contact me so I
can add the only option that was available that my
car does not have. It
would be nice to have a really complete 1959
Imperial in original condition.
