In anticipation of selling the museum's 1973
Imperial, I finally got around to transfering its ownership into our name
today. We have had the car since mid 1998 but, lacking a signature on a
form, I never bothered with pursuing the procedure. However, today I
did. While standing in front of the clerk, I noticed the title said
'Chrysler' for make and 'Imp' for model. It had been some time since I had
completed the paperwork and I must have accomodated the error at the time.
I remarked on the eror to the clerk. I wasn't even thinking of making an
issue of it but she seemed interested and asked what I would put in the space
for model if the make was changed. I replied, 'Le Baron,' without thinking
that this, too, had become a Chrysler name. She went off and checked with
her supervisor, just to see if it would be OK to make the change. They
conferred a while and checked the computer. Then, they took an extra step
and consulted an older reference book. This told them that if the VIN
number began with a "Y" the car should be listed as an Imperial. "C" would
denote Chrysler.
So, with hardly any effort on my part, the
change has been made, and it is officially an Imperial. You might want to
remember the "Y" code if you want to make such a change yourself.
The supervisor was very pleased with herself and
her employee. She could recall Imperials and thought they were great
cars.
