Re: IML: 1983 Imperial on eBay



If you turn the car off first, then the headlamps, the lids stay open. All
Chryslers with hidden headlamps were designed this way so you could leave
the lids open to clean the headlamps or park the car overnight in winter
without risking the headlamp doors freezing shut.

As for the photo, I assume he's trying to show how nice the innards of the
finished lamp-wells look. It's a particularly nice Imperial feature that the
hidden headlamps look finished even when they're exposed, thanks to the
chrome trim on the sides and on the back of the headlamp doors (which flip
downward to form the "floor" of the well.

There is another shot on the eBay page with the headlamps closed, so they
seem to work correctly.
