Jack...Here is the email I just got from my
friend in PA who was on the tour. He is a certifiable Mopar nut.
I'll send the pictures to you offline but to me they look like add
ons.

I talked to one of the two shop guys about the "Imperial" T&C.
He said
the story was that the owner of a dealership ordered the car new,
took
delivery, and never titled it. When he died it sold at auction
and the
second owner never titled it either. Bulgari bought it at
auction from
the second owner (with less than 4500 miles). One of the
Imperial
badges is visible on one of the shots from the auction site that I
sent
you yesterday, so we know the shop in Allentown did not add the
them.
My guess would be that the dealership owner added the badges way
back
when. Never say never with Chrysler, who knows, a dealer
with
connections (or just the right order sheet) might have been able to
have
a one of one built by the factory.
It must be nice to have
cubic money.
