So if only 19 of the 2194 LeBarons came with dual air
in 1967, that would be only ~0.866%.  Considering that
95.1% of all '67 Imperials had air conditioning
(statistic found in the Standard Catalog of Chrysler,
which is also not infallable), less than 1% of
LeBarons having dual air is a really wild statistic.

Also considering that as "top of the line" cars, the
LeBarons usually had MORE options than Crowns, I would
expect the percentage of LeBarons with dual air to be
higher.

Well . . . ever notice how often magazines and
newspapers have to print retractions about supposedly
well-researched "facts" their writers have printed? 
;o)

All the above is, of course, speculation on my part. 
I'd just like to see something from the factory that
documents this statistic.  I've seen/heard WAY too
many wild "facts" quoted about these cars over the
years that were total fabrications--so it's tough to
swallow this one without questioning it.
