This fellow in California has an interesting car. 
Bucket seats were indeed available for '73 -- see page
39 of the '73 Imperial Dealer Album at
http://www.imperialclub.com/yearbyyear/1973/Data/41.htm.
 In fact, the "airplane style" seating introduced on
'64 Imperials more or less qualifies as bucket seats
-- although "airplane style" seating sounds MUCH more
dignified.

However, consoles were NOT available on the '73
Imperial, nor were "portal windows."  As always,
there's a S-L-I-M chance that someone could have
special ordered these items from the factory, but it's
much more likely that they were added later.

I've seen many, many items over the years that owners
genuinely believed were some sort of "special" factory
option, but which were really JC Whitney special sale
items.

Best regards,

Elijah
