Lining them up chronologically was fascinating as the differences over short periods of time were profound. Cars just don’t change this dramatically anymore.
If you are able to bring your Imperial, we’d love to have you here in St. Louis on Memorial Day weekend!
I have seen good photos of this car. It would require the reincarnation of Luigi Segre to bring this poor thing back to life. And $250,000.00. Then you would have a car that would maybe bring a hundred grand at auction if it were perfect.
Sounds like you are talking about the late Fran Ochsner of Horicon, WI. He had dozens of ‘64 and ‘65 Imperial convertibles and was restoring them 2 or 3 at a time.
Beautiful car. The addition of the C pillar nomenclature as well as the rocker molding really dress it up compared to the very plain ‘69 coupe. The ‘70 wheel covers are bland so the substitution of the ‘69 covers really gives the best of both years.
