Imperial Wheel Covers - 81-83?

["Bill Watson" <wwatson@xxxxxxxxx>]

The spotter's guide is not quite correct.

The 1981 and 1982 Imperials came with red centre caps.  The 1983 Imperials
came with clear (white) centre caps.   The 1983 parts catalogue lists the
clear (white) cap but there is no mention of the red cap.

If you check the brochures there is one car in the 1983 brochure with red
centre caps, but ir is actually a 1982 Imperial   The photo was carried over
from the 1982 brochure but not updated.
