That is about 11% of the KNOWN survivors. I would
bet there are at least that many not registered & waiting for resto or
parting out.

condition"?/survival rate
There were 577 1967 Imperial convertibles built. I own a
white over blue example with 83,000 miles in a 3 plus condition. A
few months ago, I subscribed to the service advertised in Hemmings that
purports to know the number of vehicles currently REGISTERED.
According to them, 53 67 convertibles are still
registered.

IML: "showroom condition"?/survival rate
Given how few '67-'68
Imperials were produced, and especially the low number of convertibles,
the survival rate is kind of impressive isn't it? At any given
time there seems to be at least one or two convertibles at eBay or on www.collectorcartraderonine.com
