The Flytesweep decklid wasn't offered for 62, but did return
for one last time in 63.

Subject: IML: Flightseep deck lid
I just love all the little side things going on about
the Flightseep deck lid. It is actually quite unique to drive around an
automobile with a bird bath on it's trunk lid, but actually I think it is one
of the most refined features of the 1957 through 1961 Imperial, and sometimes
1962. I think it was a brilliant way of incorporating a continental kit in a
very elegant manner. Although they are subject to leakage into the trunk, by
1959 I think they finally came close to solving that problem by making the
center hub one piece. Anyone out there ever here about moldings or gaskets?
Actually my 1959 came with a 1958 center hub, which I personally like better,
but I switched it to a 1959 to keep water invasion at a minimum.
