    The sticker also states that it has "corning lights"!

    June 24th, 2023 - 7th Annual C Body Show at Volo

    Hi, friends, Sorry that I can't attend this year. My wife's daughter is expecting her first child, so my wife and I will be in Calfornia at that time. I hope to see you in 2024, and have a great show this year!

    Imperial speedometer - driving car while removed

    Thanks, Dan...the speedometer it is. The odometer only has the normally expected error (about 5%), whereas the speedometer reads 35% high.

    Imperial speedometer - driving car while removed

    I do use a GPS since I become lost nearly anywhere. However, I want the speedometer repaired so that I may use the Auto Pilot. My concern is driving the car with the cable exposed.

    Imperial speedometer - driving car while removed

    Not since I purchased the car in November 2021. I do not know the previous history. An earlier owner installed a tachometer on the car, which seems strange.

    Imperial speedometer - driving car while removed

    My 1964 Imperial speedometer is highly inaccurate (at about 65 MPH the reading is approximately 90 MPH), so I will be having it removed and repaired. Are there any problems with driving the car while the speedometer is removed with the cable exposed? While the speedometer is out, I will use my...

    WANTED 1964 Imperial Tilt Column Turn Signal Switch Cable Assembly

    Yes; Saginaw for 1964-65 Mopar tilt wheels. I hope to find one via a Mopar source, as I have been derided by GM owners in the past. You're correct; however. It's likely that I will need to take that risk.

    Parking brake cable stuck on

    Yes; I have the shop manual. My problem is that since I have no way to lift the vehicle or borrow a lift, I need to find a method to crawl beneath the vehicle without damaging either myself or the car (or find someone else who is not as fat as I am). I'm hoping that the cable connection is...

    Parking brake cable stuck on

    I owned that Newport nearly 50 years ago, so all I recall is that when the parking brake stuck, I reached beneath the left fron fender to pull on the cable. That did release the brake.

    Thanks much! I'll investigate those items.

    Parking brake cable stuck on

    On my recently-purchased 1964 Imperial LeBaron, I made the idiotic mistake of engaging the parking brake prior to checking its condition (on my Imperial Crown the parking brake is fully functional). Of course, the brake now remains on (the vacuum release works correctly). Does anyone know if...

    Instrument panel light bulb replacement (1964 Imperial)

    I have the manual. I cannot locate where the amount of bulbs is stated (see #10).

    Instrument panel light bulb replacement (1964 Imperial)

    How many #57 bulbs are in the instrument panel and dashboard on a 1964 Imperial? At almost $4 per bulb, I wish to get the correct number of bulbs without purchasing excessive amounts.
