Re: IML: Imperials On YouTube: 55 vs.56

[Marco <marco@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jack,

as George wrote both years used the same back incl. bumpers / exhaust. 
Only the side trim varies (the 5 "slashes" and the side chrome trim.)
You also can see this trim on Randy's Crown Imp.
It's definitly a 56 in the videos IMHO.
