I also recently (2 years ago) purchased a 1969 Imperial. This is a 2 door LeBaron. I removed the vinyl roof to repair some minor rust at the front of the roof and discovered major rust under the fiberglass rear window insert that I was not remotely aware of. My sequential signals also do not work as designed. A previous owner set them to just flash on and off which is fine for me now. There is an aftermarket kit available for about $90 which is supposed to fix the sequential flashers. I may get to that eventually or design something myself.
As I stated in an earlier message, I am in the process of figuring what to do with this car. I really want a convertible and it may end up that way. Pretty much all of the rust on the car would be cut out in a convertibilizing process.
Good luck. Let us know how your signals go.

survivor. Condition 3
Self-Introduction: I always thought the Imperials were way cool rides but
was actually looking for a '71 or '72 Sport Fury. Ran across this '69
Imperial and the rest is history. Major problem with the vehicle is that the
signals don't work. They are the sequential signals. No one around here even
has a clue hoe=w to make them work again. The vehicle is my retirement
present. I plan on retiring in about ten years and hope to have itcompletely
resored by then although the only major project will be a fresh coat of
paint ansd a new vinyl top. Original paint and top showing it's age.
