Imperial/Cadillac comparison



In addition to the '65 Crown convert. I also am the very proud owner of a gorgeous '66 Eldorado convert.  BTW, the original top on this car "matched" the body color (Cobalt Firemist) and the top bows were also the same blue color.  The top well is (from the factory) black (I assume because the interior is black (perforated leather) but the top was blue!  Go figure! I now have a black top and have painted the bows black and I like it much better than when the top was blue.
 
 As for any comparison, I would say they are both beautifully detailed cars.  The Cad's engine is a bit larger (429 cid) but has the same horsepower (340bhp) as the Imperial's 413.  Both cars drive well but the Imperial weighs about 700lbs more than the Caddy.  The styling is more unique on the Imperial (I think) but I grew up riding to school (carpool) in a neighbor's Caddy and was taken with all that luxury even as a youngster.  Then another neighbor bought a '67 Imperial and I flipped over it!  I like both (and own both) but have devoted far more of my life and resourses to restoring the Imperial.  And I do not belong to an online Cadillac club.  This club is the greatest!!!!!!!!!!
 
Just my two cents worth.
