That?s a great answer
below. My reason goes way back to 1962. My Dad had a big lime
green ?58 Fleetwood 62 Series Sedan.
During the summer of
1962 the triple carb gave trouble and backfired burning it to the ground while
on vacation. My Dad made a promise to never own another Cadillac and he
hated Fords so enter a new ?62 Imperial Crown in Rosewood. That car lead
to his next car a ?69 Blue Crown leaving me to drive the old ?62 Imperial and
it hooked me into appreciation of what a fine car Chrysler was building back
then. His 3rd and last Chrysler car was a ?76 New
Yorker because there was no Imperial that year. Personally I find all 3 to be
great cars of the late 50?s to late 60?s and would be happy to have most any
of them during that 10 year span.

Subject: Re: IML: Why choose Imperial
over Caddy or Lincoln?
it's
the quality, looks and comfort of an Imperial. Take for example the one I own,
a 74 Imperial. Caddy and Lincoln did not have 4 wheel disc brakes, Imperial
did. They didn't have a metal grille, Imperial did, and they coulden't match
the leather seats Imperial had. Plus through the years, Imperial always
had a better looking body style. Most important though is
quality, Mopar is always a better choice than GM or Ford.
