"showroom condition"?/survival rate

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

That is about 11% of the KNOWN survivors. I would bet there are at least that many not registered & waiting for resto or parting out.

There were 577 1967 Imperial convertibles built.  I own a white over
blue example with 83,000 miles in a 3 plus condition.  A few months ago,
I subscribed to the service advertised in Hemmings that purports to know
the number of vehicles currently REGISTERED.  According to them, 53 67
convertibles are still registered.

Given how few '67-'68 Imperials were produced, and
especially the low number of convertibles, the
survival rate is kind of impressive isn't it?  At any
given time there seems to be at least one or two
convertibles at eBay or on
www.collectorcartraderonine.com
