What is that under the rear bumper of the Imperial? Or am I seeing things?


1957-59 Imperials had a rear valance under the rear bumper to block the view of mechanicals like the exhaust, gas tank and springs. They don't all seem to have them now so I don't know if people removed them or if not all cars got them.


They were bad mounted and most of them just fell down. My imperial incredibly still has it.

Without Ex, we probably would have even "googier" looking cars and reportedly, Ex had nothing to do with the design of the 60/61 Mopars, except the 60 Valiant, which was the only model he designed all by himself and that is THE ugliest American car of the 40s, 50s and 60s.
