Thanks for your help. I have emailed them. Btw, my mistake. Is the left one which Im missing. But Im wondering if its the same on both side, just installing It the other way arround. Thats mine on the attached photos. Thanks for your help!

You are right, sorry. Thanks.

Hi everyone, Starting the revival process of my 59 Imperial Lebaron. One of the few missing parts I have is the right back-up lens, like the attached at the photo. Does anyone have anything out there? I think 57 and 58 has same lens, but not 100% sure. Thanks for your help! David

Hi everyone, Starting the revival process of my 59 Imperial Lebaron. One of the few missing parts I have is the right reverse light, like the attached at the photo. Any chance of finding that? Is a holy grail? Thanks a lot for your help. David

Hi everyone. Just a fast update. I got another starter motor, and now the motor turns perfectly with the spark plugs on. So the problem was the old starter. Now for the next step... Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, all points to the starter. Will see what I do. A company already rebuilt it, but it seems they didnt do it properly. To send it to USA, and send back must cost a fortune, as it's veeeery heavy. That's why I was looking to a modern compatible engine, just to check...

Hi everyone. Got sometime today... A short video so you can see whats going on. This is with a brand new battery, 920A. AND with two sparks in each side, so not even with the 8 cylinders! Im pretty sure this is the starter motor. Do anyone know if exist a modern starter compatible with this...

Hi, will check that

Hi! No. The engine barely turns with the spark plugs on. Complete a full turn with a lot of difficulty and very slow. The second turn stops, and the cable coming up from the solenoid gets very, very hot

WOW! How long is that thing????

Oil is not the problem. As said, when it's released from sparks plugs it runs fantastic, and any oil excess was released. Answering your second question, I even gave ground straight to the starter body from the battery, and same with the positive. But same. Everything points to the starter...

Yes, I think that too. Even put two brand new 100 AH batteries in paralell, to be sure no power was lost. And nothing.

Thanks for your help. I changed the motor oil and also oiled the cylinders. And yes, opened the valve covers, and they are opening and closing rightly. Motor turns really fine without the sparks. On the next days will try to make a video, and will show it to you. Thanks again!

Yes, the battery is the right one

I tried to Connect the battery directly, but same. Will verify that voltage. Thanks!

I dont think the spark plugs are the problem, as I cant hear any sound, and if I insist, I can get to do a complete turn, but soooo slow. And in the mean time the cable from the starter solenoid gets really hot, so I cant keep doing that.

Hi again, thanks for your messages. I think I lacked explanations. New 100 Ah battery. Wires and ground changed. Starter motor rebuilt and turning apparently fine. I mean that the engine turns smoothly and at a good pace with its starter motor, but without the spark plugs on. It is true that...

Hi everybody, thanks for the warm welcome! I write you from Spain, owning a fantastic, amazing and in poor condition Imperial Lebaron from 1959. After keeping it from many years, its time to start with the beauty. Car is stopped for more than 20 years, but it's almost complete. Hope to learn...

Hi everyone. Thank you all for allowing me to be part of this forum. I am writing you from Spain, where restoring a car like this is an adventure! I have a 59 Imperial, stopped for twenty years. And I have a problem. The engine won't turn over with the spark plugs in. Without the spark plugs it...
