IML: 1981 - 1983 IMPERIAL QUESTION



 
 

Bob
I am interested in a set of those crystals if you are willing to part with them. Can I email you off site?

Hi Burt, The steering wheel crystal will not fit the opera lamps. Chrysler was selling a plastic crystal that was on other makes, they may still have them, but they do not have the Cartier logo. I have re-glued original crystals with black RTV sealant and haven't lost one yet. I do have a couple of used sets of the original "Cartier Crystals" . Bob

I am restoring a 1982 Imperial. I have three 1981-1983 Imperials - one project car and two parts cars. None of the three cars have the crystal pentastar on the exterior opera lights on the "B" pillar. A friend who has two 1981-1983 Imperials says they were glued on and have all fallen off - and new parts are not available.
 
What I am thinking about doing is glueing the crystal pentastar from the steering wheel horn pad to the opera lights. I think it will fit and I have two of those pentastars. The question is what glue should I use? I am thinking about "gorilla" glue because I am impressed by their advertising claims.
 
Any thoughts on my proposal?
 
Burt Bouwkamp
