Re: IML: have question on my 1965 Crown

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

The "aircraft interior" was available as an option for the Crown Four 
Door. The interior looks similar to the Crown Coupe standard interior. 
I have no idea how many were made, but they were special order only. In 
my years of looking, I have only seen a handful, compared to the 
standard Crown Four Door interior. The first 1965 Imperial Crowns that 
I saw were sitting along the back lot of Burbank Chrysler-Plymouth in 
October 1964, just as they were unloaded from the transporter. Two 
white and one beige. They all had the standard interior one all red 
leather.

The "aircraft interior" is a very nice option to have and I think adds 
more luxury to the car. My '65 Crown Four Door has the standard bench 
seating with beige brocade fabric and gold leather bolsters.

. My question is: does anyone have any idea of how rare/unusual they 
are in my car or how many 1965 Crown hardtop cars were produced with 
the aircraft style seats instead of the standard bench? I am curious to 
find out more.



   Thank you for all your help and assistance - I really appreciate the 
Imperial Club website - it has been a wonderful resource.

I don’t really know what you mean by aircraft style bucket seats.  Can 
you provide a link to a picture of this type seat on the club website?  
As far as power seats go they were not very rare at all.  Most every 
Imperial of the Crown or LeBaron model I have seen have had the power 
seats while some of the Customs have not had them.
