Hello,
What do you think of the fact that I believe the 1974-75 Imperials and 76-78 where the best looking cars of the 1970's
The styling combines Cadillac (the sled look) and Lincoln (hideway lights and mark IV like grille) elements and has a beautiful Duesenberg look at same time, a kind of neoclassical style that was about to become very popular in 1974....
I like other Imperials as well, like the fuselgae look, but I am a seveties man and just like the pillowed velour Imperials and New Yorkers.
I think no other car make has such a nice and distinctive style as the Imperials, they're just so ''different''.
Thanks, Dirk/theNetherlands
