Imperial Wheelbase

["Don Verity" <d.verity@xxxx>]

Hi John and All,
The Imperials wheelbase was also quite different from the Chryslers. The
55 was 130 for the standard model, and 149.5 for the Limo. In 56 they went
to 133 inches with the Limo still at 149.5. In 57 through at least 66 it
went back to 129 inches. After 56 pretty much no exterior or interior
pieces
interchanged with Chryslers.
300ly,
Don

If you are referring to the 2 door hardtops, both 1955 & 1956 Chryslers
are the same panels with exception of hole locations for trim. There is no
difference in the trunk fin area. The Imperials of that era are
different.In 1955 the panel behind the rear window before the trunk is
longer than
the Chryslers. The same applies to 1956 Imperials.

Hope this clears up the confusion,
