Re: IML: 68 LeBaron Update & 66 Le Baron

Hola All

When I picked up my 66 Le Baron from David Jr. he pulled the rectangular plaque off of the dash that had his father's specially made for David ~ Sr. plaque. I now have a brighter 40 years and 9 months year old rectangular spot on the 100 year old Claro Walnut.

This Seq Green Le Baron does not have the Rear A/C or Sure-Grip and the 3:23 options.

The son stated in conversation his parents had a new 63 Le Baron when he was in the 11th grade.

Both cars were from the same dealer in or near Fremont, Calif.

I remember a rich man that lived in the neighborhood that had the neatest
black '65 or '66 LeBaron with leather and on the dash was a gold plaque with
a tiny Imperial Eagle and his name engraved with that "This car made...".
Maybe a dealer add on but they had to have gotten the plaques from Chrysler.
I know my Dad ordered 2 Imperials to his specs. from the same dealer(a
'62Crown and a '69Crown) and neither had the name plague. Maybe it was a
LeBaron thing.

Also, there is a small gold or bronze name plate attached to the glove box
door with an inscription. It says "This Car Made Especially For Maurice
Schmidt". (he was the original and only owner before me) Did Chrysler ever
do that sort of thing for special order cars? I'm thinking it may have been
something done by his family when he bought the Imperial new.

Anyway, that's it for now.
