All time favorite Imperial/1974-75 LeBaron????

Hello,

What do you think of the fact that I believe the 1974-75 Imperials and 76-78 where the best looking cars of the 1970's

The styling combines Cadillac (the sled look) and Lincoln (hideway lights and mark IV like grille) elements and has a beautiful Duesenberg look at same time, a kind of neoclassical style that was about to become very popular in 1974....

I like other Imperials as well, like the fuselgae look, but I am a seveties man and just like the pillowed velour Imperials and New Yorkers.

I think no other car make has such a nice and distinctive style as the Imperials, they're just so ''different''.

Thanks, Dirk/theNetherlands
