1966 Imperial LeBaron Limo

[Robert Walker <walker@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

YH43 is the correct model# for a 66 Lebaron 4 Door Hardtop, presumably the basis of the 'kit car' shipped to Europe for conversion. I don't know why I didn't pick up on this before, but until 1960, the kit car was a 2Door HT. In 1960, it was a 4D Sedan, and I had assumed that all subsequent kits were 4D Sedans. Trouble is, 1960 was the last end of the line for 4D Sedans! It seems, then, that they went from 2D HT's to 1 year of 4D Sedans, to 4D HT's. Curious.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Bob

PS I assume that there is a 'Data Plate' affixed to the body; this may show whether the 'kit-car' is a '66, or one of the earlier years.

 Hello Mike,

I don't know much about the later Ghias, but the VIN and Data Plate numbers may be of help in identifying the model year of your limo. ...not that it matters: either way its still pretty rare.

I own one of these cars. I have been told that there was only a very limited number of these cars made. I have also been told that this car may have been manufactured in Spain. The only other car like this I have seen was at the museum in the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. If anyone has any information I would love to hear from you.  Thanks, Mike
