First of all, I don't think that anyone can tell you with authority which color COMBINATION was the most popular. That information is lost to the sands of time since the records, if Chrysler did have them, were purged long, long ago. Having just said that, I do know that Chrysler included past year PAINT color popularity in advance sales literature meant for dealer eyes only. Presumably this was to help them order cars for inventory, car's that would sell quickly since they were a popular color. I have a dealer color and trim album for the 1973 model year and it has a supplement showing the equipment installation rates and paint color preferences for the 1972 model year Plymouths. For Valiants and Dusters, black was the least popular at only 1.6% Black was a little more popular on Barracuda models: 4.2% Only 1.9% of Satellites were black. Finally, black was again the least popular color for Fury models: 1.0% Now I realize that black is a more popular color on luxury cars but for someone to say that triple black was THE most popular combo for a 72 Imperial seems like a stretch. Frankly, I think it's ridiculous. Greens and golds were very popular in the early 70s so my money is on one of those shades for the top seller. In 25+ years of Imperial spotting I've only seen a handful of triple black fuselage era Imperials. Hopefully and IML member owns a 73 Chrysler and Imperial dealer album with the supplement and he can provide the paint color info. Hint hint.
