Re: IML: Imperial or Not?

["Frederick Joslin" <fljoslin@xxxxxxxx>]

I will add my two cents.

I believe two general characteristics about Imperials are relatively low production numbers where the public is not especially aware of the cars and relatively high prices. I believe that the 80's and 90's Imperials meet these two tests. 

There was an early 80's Imperial for sale in theis area a couple of years ago and the seller stated that it was the most expensive car sold in America for that year. I do not know if this was true, but I believe it. Also, until I joined this forum I did not know that 80's and 90's Imperials even existed and I would call myself somewhat of a car buff.  

Finally, as someone else said, if it says Imperial and is made by Chrysler it is an Imperial. This will also hold true for the next one if they make it.

Hello All,
Well, If there is any question of the 90's Imperials being
REAL IMPERIAL, I can atest that being a former owner of a 1990
Chrysler Fifth Avenue for seven years that the Imperial of that
era were VERY much Immperials. My 5th was a real was very much a
kin to the Imperial but with out the total trappings and having
owned 2 Imperials (69 LeBaron FDHT and 75 LeBaron FDHT) the Fifth
was very appointed in its own right. I was looking for an
Imperial when I bought the 5th, but one was not to be found in
Las Vegas. Imperial owners do holder on to their cars longer
that other car owners, so there are not as many available for
resell, but that fact that the Imperials are lower production
numbers than other cars does not make them readily available.
That can be good and bad (especially for Imperial only parts).
But overall, the 80's and 90's Imperial are very much members
of the Imperial family in their own right. And, by the way, when
my 5th was stolen the first time, I did find some Imperials in
Las Vegas, but my 5th was found intact and kept her another 5
year more. She was stolen a second time in Portland, Oregon
three years later and was recovered again intact.
