Re: IML: Unusual Imperial Concept drawing found

[Christopher H <imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd guess it was a mid-to-late-50s sketch for an very-early-60s model. The
script resembles the '57 script, suggesting it was drawn in that general
time period. The taillamps and fins would have been a bit close to the
'63-64 Cadillac had it come out that late (especially if the lenses were
clear, as these drawings suggest).

Did anyone notice the floating eagles on each taillamp?

For a tailfin-era car, it's remarkably subtle and clean. One backup lamp,
simple fins, a flat trunklid (hello, 1961!), and a mildly sculpted hood.
Would love to see a side view or the front. And I wonder what "S Series"
refers to... Mark, ya got any more from this set?

Funny, if I squint I can see my '78 New Yorker Brougham in it...

Cool posting... Thanks, Mark!
