Since it's a derby car, you could set it on it's side to make the job quite a bit easier, instead of welding overhead. Jeff

Here's a lengthy article on the subject. https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/how-to-articles/25304-secret-removing-oxidation-restoring-show-car-finish-antique-single-stage-paints.html I think someone on FCBO linked to it some time back, and that's how I found it. You could substitute the...

There's been much discussion over the years about using the GM weatherstrip on a formal, but I don't know if anyone has ever tried it. It would certainly be worth the effort to contact Steele and see if you could purchase a small sample piece for test purposes. In addition to the '71-'76...

It should be non-vented. Jeff

The problem with Cooper is they dropped the 225/75R15 white stripe. I know they still have the 235/75R15, but haven't checked other sizes lately. Jeff

We recently put a set of Nexen's on my friends 300. They really balanced up nicely. None of the four tires required more than 2 oz of weight. I think they are made in Korea. 4 Tires Nexen N'Priz AH5 225/75R15 102S A/S All Season | eBay Jeff

There's a reasonable number of them around. As you said, not nearly as common as black New Yorkers. I'll say that I've seen about five black formal Newports in the last five years. Most of them have been coupes. Jeff

Maybe things would have gone smoother if you tried assembling it on the car instead of your cat? I can see why that would cause quite a few problems. :poke: Jeff

Are you sure the problem isn't the motor itself? The clutch inside the motor is the most common failure. Does it slip in only one spot or the entire length of travel? If it slips in any position, then it's likely to be the clutch. On the earlier cars you can drill three holes in the door...

Hi Steve, On the earlier cars I usually leave the glass in and just pull out the regulator assembly. With the glass all they way up and held with some tape, I unbolt the regulator from the door and slide the guides out of the tracks on the glass. I'm not real familiar with the formal sedans...

I agree. This seems like the most likely scenario. It's really unlikely that any one would notice the extra digit in the VIN, even the person who typed it, who was just copying off some other paper with the VIN on it. Jeff

No need to do so. You already did in the "Last Imperial thread" that ceebudy linked too. The article was published in Collectible Automobile August 2006. Volume 23 Number 2 on pages 66 and 67 by Jeffrey Godshall. Jeff

No auto parts stores will have that booster in stock anymore. You have to either send yours to the US to have it rebuilt or see if any of the rebuilders can find you a core to rebuild. The booster for your car should be easier to find used than some of the older ones. You need to know exactly...

It was in this book by Richard Langworth, printed in 1996. With the exception of the covers, all photos in the book came directly from Chrysler. Most are either press photos, advertisements or straight out of the sales brochures. Illustrated Buyer's Guide: Illustrated Chrysler Buyer's Guide...

I happened to run across this photo while I was looking for something else today. Does anyone know where this car is? Too bad they didn't do the same thing in 1978, though I'm not sure what the deal is with the "X" in the VIN. Is it a special VIN to show it's the last one built, or did...

I'm sure I can find the numbers in my collision book, but I won't be back home till Thursday. Jeff

I'm sure that you have told us in the past, but I'm going to be the guy who asks the sad question. Why did you end up selling the car? Thanks, Jeff

I drove by this car a couple weeks ago. It was sitting in a parking lot with a for sale sign on it. Looks really good rust wise and the interior is great, but the paint appears to be dead in spots. Seeing that the upper rad hose and plug wires have been replaced, I'd say it's a well...

The second one looks sharp in charcoal and black, though the blue interior is a bit of an odd combination. You really need to be careful with these cars. About five years ago a friend of mine bought a non-St Regis top 1974 Imperial coupe. The car was very clean and had zero lower body rust...

Well, It's time to end the suspense. I climbed over the junk and had enough room to open the door a bit and snap a photo. Jeff
