    What'cha think?

    I'm restoring my 67 caps. I had them polished and am now painting them. Taping them off is a pain. I got super wide tape and use a drawing compass to cut curves. We'll see.

    Side window adhesive

    I just did this on my 67 Imperial HT. used the 1/32 inch tape from Restoration Specialties. I had to first clean out the channel. It had hardened tape / rubber. I scraped it out with a razor blade and then used acetone to clean the channel. Worked fine. You can find good videos on Utube.

    1966 IMPERIAL | WINDOW MOTORS

    I bought this for my '67. It fit. The motors were generally the same from '67 to '72, as I understand it.

    WANTED 67 / 68 chrome

    I am looking for chrome pieces for my 67 Imperial: grille (not center, but the upper and lower long, narrow grill pieces.) Also, rear tail light chrome bezels. I have these parts, but looking for pieces without pitting. thanks

    Best suggestions for period floor mats

    How does your 65 have pristine carpet? The carpet on my grandfather's 67 Imperial (now mine) was destroyed, and it was always garaged. Seems like carpet tends to not age well. Nice to hear some survive.

    Radio upgrading

    Can they utilize the floor button search function on the Imperials radios? Have to have that!

    Good point. The sample is from under the seats. As you can see, it is on the darker side.

    Opinion Needed

    I ordered carpet samples from Stock Interiors. Blue is hard to match. The circled one is the original. I'm thinking #2 is best bet. It's a bit lighter than the original but it is a loop. The piece on the left is the leather upholstery. Thoughts? For a 67 Imperial Crown

    Wood experts needed

    Didn't realize you had a 69. I'm not too familiar with those. ( although our family car growing up was a '69 Newport 2-door. I leaned to drive on it.) You can try this guy. He does woodgraining on old car interiors, and also has how-do books. Sounds expensive though. I originally contacted him...

    Wood experts needed

    There is some good information on the old Imperial Club site about coloring the walnut. I order unstained walnut, then colored it as discussed in this posting. Repair Information About Your (Chrysler) Imperial Wood Inteior Pieces

    JFK Funeral Limo 1964 Imperial

    I believe Eisenhower had an Imperial limo as well. The Kennedy's seemed to be Imperial fans in the 60's.
