I remember when the 67 Imperial came out. Many felt the last real Imperials 
were gone.There were many negative comments of how the trunk lid sounded 
when slammed shut as well as a lot of tacky interior trim, the car looked 
too narrow etc.
     Today, that generation seems to be among the most favored.
