Re: IML: Imperials are a "C" or a ...???

["dave brown" <imperial1usa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

It was my experience at Carlisle, PA (All Chrysler Nationals) and in a 
telephone conversation with Year One that they do not support or sell parts 
for Imperials, ONLY muscle cars.  I tried to order some parts for my 1966 
Imperial and they told me that they do not manufacture parts for our cars.  
Imperials in 1964, 1965, and 1966 were not C-bodies and share very few parts 
if any at all with C-bodies since Imperials were full frame cars and 
C-bodies were unibody design.  These years are D-bodies as previously stated 
in past IML discussions.  Very few parts manufacturers recognize this letter 
designation and will corral them in with the C-bodies.  Good luck with your 
dealings with Year One.  They were useless to me.  Your best resource for 
repro parts for a 66 Imperial is Gary Goers like Elijah suggested.  His 
catalogs just aren't as well illustrated as Year Ones  :)
