Re: IML: 1967 1 of 19

The option stats I have do not have the rear A/C units, just A/C, sorry to
say.

Jeff Godshall, it should be pointed.out, has one big advantage over all of
us - he is an employee of DaimlerChrysler (as a stylist) and has been there
since the 1960's.  Which is why his articles have great photos of styling
proposals.  And that is probably how he is able to get statistics on various
options, etc.  After all, he works just a short walk from the archives and
undoubtedly knows all the powers-that-be on a first name basis.

have seen at least eleven 1967 Imperial LeBarons equipped with dual air, but
NONE with individual temperature regulation. My mother's '68 LeBaron has
dual air, but not individual temperature regulation. If there were only 19
'67 LeBarons with dual air, then how on earth could 11 of them have passed
through Seattle? Dual air was offered on Imperials for many years, and is
seen somewhat often.

us how many '67 Imperials were built with dual air conditoning...Bill?

Automobile October 2002, it states such as .." A dual -unit air conditioner,
permitting individual temperature regulation for front and rear
compartments, was also available, though only 19 cars were so equipped,
making it the rarest 1967 option."
