Parts are considered core/ driver quality, not show. More of a B-E body guy myself so have no use for these but would like to see them go to some one that can use them, will accept any reasonable offer. Parts located in northern New York but will ship smaller parts for cost of shipping. Thanks, Ron

Looks like a good bunch of parts there.
Might be interested in a corning light bezel.
Could you possibly post a few more pictures of the other side of the parts? Or just more visible?
Is there a fender tag that was collected? I would purchase that for a start.
Since you are new here I'll let ya know first, the mods are going to take your post down without any pricing.
Put a price on the largest piece. That will help.

Are you talking about the right side fender bezel? Yes, there is a tag mounted to the radiator support, I can get you. a picture of that. Appreciate the heads up about prices, I know I am supposed to post prices but thought i could let the buyer set the price with me not knowing what the items may be worth but I can throw in a couple ball bark prices to conform with the rules and I'll add a couple more pics.

A little help here, Thought I was in the correct category but apparently not. How do I move this to post from mechanical to exterior parts?

Thank you for posting YM43T3C265636 -- can you tell us more about this HB1 "baby blue" Imperial's life?

Yet again, another blue interior car.
I'm trying to find a few plastics for a blue interior.
They get thrown out, or are in Canada, or no one wants to ship them.

You can not move the thread to another section. No issue. This is part of learning the forum.
I would just start a new thread over there and put a link in that thread with this thread for the info here.
Otherwise you can @ an administrator and they can sometimes move the thread. But, that will call them here to look at the pricing issue.
They don't care about buyers or sellers. They care about the rules. So they are non biased and will delete your post regardless.
Agree, put some roundabout prices and ask folks to haggle with you and that will get the parts sold.

Not much to tell. It was a front clip consisting of everything to the back of the fenders. Had a 400/727 (440 long gone) still attached to the front frame section. Found it in a hedge row, bought it off the original owners son who was cleaning up the yard. I wasn't really interested in it but didn't want to see it get scrapped with the rest of the stuff he was loading up. That's pretty much it.

Thank you!

PS: I wonder if the son of the original owner could tell us why someone who bought an Imperial new (i.e., could have afforded such a car) would keep it to ultimately leave it in a hedge row. Mysteries...

@RBranche

I need a few pieces depending on their shape.
Turn signal Chrome Bumper surrounds that mount to the bumper.
Mine have small dents and I would like to find better pieces. Both sides have small dents so if yours are better I am interested.
The trim that goes behind those turn signal housings that wraps the front of the fender on the drivers side is broken in two. I see one with your stuff but can't tell if it is drivers side nor how nice it is. But if complete I am interested as it would be better than my broken one.
The clear turn signal lenses. If they are not checked or better than mine I would also be interested in those.

If I need to get pictures to compare I will, just let me know.

Oh, and I would like to buy the fender tag as I am a collector of all things tag, broadcast sheet and factory documentation.

I'll get you better pictures of the items you mentioned. Right bumper end has damage, left looks good except chrome is "thin", 1 lens looks good, other has fine scratches, hard to get a clear picture of the scratches, 1 fender surround but right side, not left side.
