Re: IML: '64 Imperial on E-bay & various Imperial features

["john sadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

In 62, the Imperial engine color was changed to turquoise with black accessories. The color in the pics looks a couple of shades darker then it should. In regards to the pics themselves, I would say that they have been enhanced with a Photoshop program to give everything a lot of shine. Just look at some of the pics in the other ads to see what I mean.

   As far as 3 point belts go, they weren't used until as least 67.

I looked at the pictures of the '64 Imperial Crown convertible on E-bay
and it is a nice car, but as some others have noted it is not quite all
original. I seem to remember that the engine color in those years was
black? Correct me if I was wrong. In the '70s they changed to a
turquoise blue or something similar.

One thing that interested me was the front seats equipped with
headrests. I looked in the pictures on the club website and apparently
those were standard on the Imperials in '64. Chrysler introduced the
"Tower Back" seats earlier ('59 or '60?) and then dropped them in '63.
Was the Imperial the first to have the headrests?

I remember a discussion years ago about 3-point seatbelts and I believe
that the '64 and up Imperials had an anchor point built into the roof
structure that would serve for that type seat belt underneath the
headliner above and behind the driver and front seat passenger seat.
Has anyone with a '64/65/66 checked theirs to see?

On the lamps issue, when visiting your local auto parts store, take the
old lamp with you (if there is still one in your car). That makes it a
little easier to find a suitable replacement. I used Auto Zone in
Frisco, TX recently and found that a suitable replacement for a 1034 is
an 1157. The map/courtesy and dome lamp 1004 was still available off
the shelf.
