The final year for the optional vent windows was the 1978 model year.

Hi, everyone, Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend this year's show. I'm having major brain surgery (ring and valve job, or a reasonable facsimile thereof), so it will take some time for me to recover. Hopefully, I'll be there next year. Scott Stewart

The sticker also states that it has "corning lights"!

Hi, friends, Sorry that I can't attend this year. My wife's daughter is expecting her first child, so my wife and I will be in Calfornia at that time. I hope to see you in 2024, and have a great show this year!

Thanks, Dan...the speedometer it is. The odometer only has the normally expected error (about 5%), whereas the speedometer reads 35% high.

I do use a GPS since I become lost nearly anywhere. However, I want the speedometer repaired so that I may use the Auto Pilot. My concern is driving the car with the cable exposed.

Not since I purchased the car in November 2021. I do not know the previous history. An earlier owner installed a tachometer on the car, which seems strange.

My 1964 Imperial speedometer is highly inaccurate (at about 65 MPH the reading is approximately 90 MPH), so I will be having it removed and repaired. Are there any problems with driving the car while the speedometer is removed with the cable exposed? While the speedometer is out, I will use my...

Yes; I have the shop manual. My problem is that since I have no way to lift the vehicle or borrow a lift, I need to find a method to crawl beneath the vehicle without damaging either myself or the car (or find someone else who is not as fat as I am). I'm hoping that the cable connection is...

I owned that Newport nearly 50 years ago, so all I recall is that when the parking brake stuck, I reached beneath the left fron fender to pull on the cable. That did release the brake.

Thanks much! I'll investigate those items.

On my recently-purchased 1964 Imperial LeBaron, I made the idiotic mistake of engaging the parking brake prior to checking its condition (on my Imperial Crown the parking brake is fully functional). Of course, the brake now remains on (the vacuum release works correctly). Does anyone know if...
