Re: IML: 1966 Chrysler : Imperial Limousine Possibly Built in Spain

[Mark Evans <mark.a.evans@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris Hawkins detailed the Spanish-built Imperials a few years ago here:
   http://www.imperialclub.org/Yr/1965/Limo/NonGhias.htm

According to sources, Barreiros of Spain turned out 10 of these 
beauties. All were 1965 models fitted with 1966 grilles. None were 
brought to the US by Chrysler. And, indeed, Franco was delivered one of 
these. The dash and gear selectors were give-aways.

The Ghia Limos have an interesting story laid out by Special Interest 
Autos back in the 70's. Here's a link to that article:
