Maybe one of these? Restoration Specialties

I am looking for chrome pieces for my 67 Imperial: grille (not center, but the upper and lower long, narrow grill pieces.) Also, rear tail light chrome bezels. I have these parts, but looking for pieces without pitting. thanks

How does your 65 have pristine carpet? The carpet on my grandfather's 67 Imperial (now mine) was destroyed, and it was always garaged. Seems like carpet tends to not age well. Nice to hear some survive.

Can they utilize the floor button search function on the Imperials radios? Have to have that!

I appreciate all the help.

Good point. The sample is from under the seats. As you can see, it is on the darker side.

I ordered carpet samples from Stock Interiors. Blue is hard to match. The circled one is the original. I'm thinking #2 is best bet. It's a bit lighter than the original but it is a loop. The piece on the left is the leather upholstery. Thoughts? For a 67 Imperial Crown

Didn't realize you had a 69. I'm not too familiar with those. ( although our family car growing up was a '69 Newport 2-door. I leaned to drive on it.) You can try this guy. He does woodgraining on old car interiors, and also has how-do books. Sounds expensive though. I originally contacted him...

There is some good information on the old Imperial Club site about coloring the walnut. I order unstained walnut, then colored it as discussed in this posting. Repair Information About Your (Chrysler) Imperial Wood Inteior Pieces

shame he got rid of it . . .

I believe Eisenhower had an Imperial limo as well. The Kennedy's seemed to be Imperial fans in the 60's.

How here's a cool car! MSN
