Re: IML: Mystery Part on eBay is 1965 Newport

[David Dimitriou <macedonxx@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to any that have helped. I really hadn't a clue as to what this part was other than it was in with a bunch of parts that were readily identifyable as 1961 Imperial, e.g. tail lights. So in light of the fact that it is not an Imperial part I'd like to respect the  mail list rules. Please send any comments/questions about this part off list. 

Thanks,
Dave
1962 Imperial Crown 4 Door x 2
