Going
by the Standard Catalog of Chrysler, I found the alarm listed for 73 and 74 NYBs
and 74 and 75 Imperials. I can't vouch for the accuracy of that
information though.

Dale and the list,
Wasn't this the secondary benefit of
Safeguard Sentinel, with the primary benefit being automatic turn-on of
the lamps at dusk? I've always been disappointed that they dropped this
feature during the NYB years...

Good catch Chris. It has been a while since I
have had my beloved 75 Imperial so I completely forgot that the headlights
would also come on automatically. To do this, you would leave the
headlight switch pulled out so the lights would be on. On top of the
dash there was a photo cell that would sense the waning daylight and turn the
headlights on when the ignition switch was also on.
That 75 Imperial
also had the factory alarm system. Another rare option for
Imperials. I have not seen many of those. I did find a 73 NYB that
had the alarm system. Does anyone know when the first year this option
was offered in an Imperial?
