Those tail lights are stunning on these cars and this is a gorgeous example. Same back window as the one that just sold here in the states by one of our members.

If I ever get my Imperial I have decided it must be black with flag holders on the front fenders. Mine of course would have American flags, but definitely with gold fringe. I just love the look.

I agree, the flags are definitely a must have on an imperial!

That's right, but remember it was a Crown model where this back window was unusual, with this LeBaron it was standard fare.
The Gabon King must have had a little higher budget than the embassy that ordered the Crown car.
