For those of you who are interested, there is an interview with Gale
Halderman in the current issue of "Collectible Automobile" and Elwood
Engel, the designer of the 60's Imperials, is mentioned a few times.
One of the more interesting stories is that the 1964 Imperial was
designed at Ford. Engel worked at Ford before going to Chrysler, and
Halderman says they had designed what would later become the '64
Imperial at Ford, but it never saw production. Then, when Engel changed
jobs and the '64 Imperial came out, no one at Ford was surprised to see
it.
He also makes the claim that Engel was not as proud of the work he did
at Chrysler, that in his personal photo album he only kept pictures of
the cars he designed at Ford.
There is also an article on a 1935 Packard.
