Imperial Options Ahead of Their Time

["dave brown" <imperial1usa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is interesting that engineering would change from electric trunk openers 
in 64, 65, and 66 to vacuum in 67.  Both my 64 and 66 Imperials have 
electrically operated trunk opener mechanisms, definitely not vacuum.  
Probably was cost related somehow.
