sixpkrt is probably correct. I didn't think of that.

I think the door dimensions are the same but they were developed by different engineering departments. 1973 New Yorker has a 124" wheelbase vs 1970 Imperial has a 127" wheelbase. Even the front legroom is a little different (41.7 NY vs 41.9 Imp) and imp interior door skin has more...

I think they got the year wrong. Looks more like a door sill from the early 1960's but I could be wrong. Anyhow, it doesn't look like the door sill on my 1970 Chrysler.

A hollywood friend of mine said most of these cars already have an owner or buyer before anything is done to it. The owner designs the car, or approves what they want, and these shows are just assembly. The owner gets a break on the price but only if they sign off stating they can't say...

The world's a little less beautiful. Vanity Fair's Chrysler 300 raffle 2012. She still looked great at 71.

Or have the TQ rebuilt as a non lean burn carb specifically tailored to your vehicle. Demonsizzler did mine. Ever since I changed my 300-H to a TQ over 10yrs ago, I get better gas mileage, don't have to wait to warm it up, no stumbling and haven't touched it. Best carb ever.

Well its near me physically, but at $37,500, its no where close to me. Couldn't they do a history and see where and possibly who was the first owner? I doubt its Lee I's. I think they made quite a few of these for prom nights and New York elite wanna be's. Thanks for posting!

Ginger Rogers is smiling because that Imperial is hers...I'm guessing 1965 ?

Beautiful Lana Turner. She was married 8 times, mostly to men who wanted to control her. She was one of those woman who was upbeat and inspiring, however wanted her own freedom. She probably would have been happier living today, then in the 1950's.

Even British royalty knew Imperials were the most luxurious cars in the world. Rolls Royces made before 1958 didn't even have power brakes, power steering, power windows. Ride quality wasn't as good, exceleration sucked. Even today, the most expensive doesn't mean the best. Wines moderately...

Just for Devinism

I'm just not good at rebuilding electrical. 90% of time, I destroy it or it just doesn't work. So I'm leaning towards spending the $200 for a new one or maybe Devinism to rebuild depending on price. Anyone know where I can get a new or professionally rebuilt 4 gang window switch for under...

Jane Russel and her 1957 Imperial

I believe the President used Imperials from 1952-1964. The 1952 white parade phaeton Imperial is rated as the most beautiful president car. After JKF's funeral, this car, the 1960 Crown Imperial Ghia Limo was never seen again and thought to be crushed... until the 1990's when it was spotted in...

Classy Princess Grace and a 1956 Imperial. Many rated the 1950's Imperials better than Cadillac....even princesses

What aftermarket non original metal heater valve are you using? I've searched everywhere and can't find one. Thanks

Just FYI for others with this problem - I installed the 1974 heater valve pictured above. Yep, it works backwards. Vacuum closes the 1974 valve to the heater core instead of opening it as on the 1970 heater valve. It seems most or all heater valves work this way. Big_John's idea is a good...

Yes, its me again but now the vacuum won't turn off, so I made another post in order not to confused anyone. Previous to this, I found the vacuum line disconnected at the vacuum reservoir. I guess I accidently dislodged it when I was installing new heater hoses. But when I attached vacuum...

Thanks guys, I'll try to check those things this week while its still warm. (45 is warm in Cleveland)

1970 300 Hurst with 440 auto. Saved from junkyard. Dash and firewall was rotted, but I got almost everything to work. When I bought it over a decade ago, heater/ac buttons were stuck, so I kept pushing/lubing them until they operated smoothly again. In the last few months, I haven't heard...
