My new ‘64 Imperial convertible

It’s in there, it just needs its own thread.:thumbsup:

Matt, as you search for seats, keep in mind that the bottom of the convertible rear seat differs from the Crown Coupe. I bought one from a Coupe to replace the rusty original one and the front contour was wrong. The front seats would be the same and I think the rear seat back too but be sure and check before you buy Coupe seats, which probably will be easier to find, assuming you want to go back to original seats

Thanks, this is the same thing that Murray said.
Included with the car was a full set of seats from a ‘67 convertible and the rear bottom seems to fit in the space but I’m a ways off from needing a back seat in this car anyway.

Is the car mechanically sound? Runs well?

Ditto on the other car too.....
 
This car hasn’t run in over 12 years so I have no idea about anything on it. The engine turns over by hand, there’s a battery in it but the negative cable was removed(have it) and the master cylinder is also missing. After the repairs to the ‘67 are done I will see if I can get this one running.

The door and rear interior panels are thankfully in good driver quality condition.

I’m just guessing here because this is my first 64 but in my 67 there is a switch on one side only that turns on both C pillar lights for reading and such.
 
Is that evidence of a repaint on the weatherstrip or just dye transfer from the interior pieces? looks like its a parts remove - clean - paint - install....

Not sure if it’s been repainted or not yet, my first impression is no but I haven’t spent much time with it yet.
 
This endeavor all started because I was buying a bunch of an NOS chrome bits for that cars eventual restoration. :D
It knows it’s #1 and it just go a new keychain that says so!

Not sure if I’ll ever need them but here’s the original hides for this car. They are crispy but will still make a good patern for future upholstery.
