Oddly enough, I often hear the same thing about my '71
Imperials.
However, I helped someone completely dismantle a '71
New Yorker a few years ago, and I can tell you that my
Imperial most definitely is NOT just a New Yorker with
a longer snoot. This unfortunate myth simply isn't
true.
Even the body shells, which do look similar at a
cursory glance, will NOT interchange without some
modification. If anyone is really bored, I can give a
detailed list of specifics. The same is true for the
'67-'68 Imperials. Have a look at a parts catalog
sometime, and notice the very different numbers listed
for almost everything in the Imperial column.
