I was indeed refering to the hood stamp. I guess that doesn't make it official then huh. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James" <nyb@xxxxxxx> To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 19, 2002 6:41 PM Subject: Re: IML: Chrysler Imperial/ Y designation Brad, Are you referring to the VIN? The 74/75 Imps had the VIN starting with YM (Imperial, price class Medium), but the 76-78 NYB's started with CS (Chrysler, price class "special"). The only Y I've seen associated with the NYB is the hood stamp.
