SOLD - 1975 Imperial Lebaron Crown Coupe Nice car! I'd have a difficult time making that decision. Here's one that has had the top removed. It may help you decide.

The ASC sunroofs are a very good design. I doubt manufacturers would have had them installed if otherwise. As long as it's not left open, and the drain tubes are checked periodically, it shouldn't leak. A drain tube coming off wouldn't be good and could potentially happen. I've been in my '71...

That's true. The sunroof was added after paint. It would've been too expensive to paint again.

I think that's a fairly safe assumption. I know that ASC did make glass panels in the same era for Lincoln. The big thing is, all "factory" sunroof cars, by ASC, had vinyl roofs. That, along with the lack of tag code leads me to believe that this was an after purchase add on. It looks like a...

No worries at all.

At least it didn't leave you stranded! That's pretty cool, and quite the distance.

A 300 mile introduction trip, very nice. I trust it went well? That's a great looking car! Is there a story regarding the trunk map?

Looks like a coloured Newport castle. Fuselages were simply gold, so I would guess formal Newport 74-78.

That little puller is good for pitman arms. I would try a larger "scissor" style one that uses leverage.

The manual crank actuates the same gear as the motor does. It's a single small gear that moves both cables. Check your tracks for any debris with a bamboo skewer. Opening up the channels where the cables run is a messy job.

When did that happen? Glad you are enjoying your great cars!

Given that the New Yorker is one of the longest uninterrupted nameplates, 1940-1996, and in '77 they made 62,127, of which we'll never know how many of that one year are left, your question is unanswerable.

I'm in Edmonton. Grand Prairie is a long drive away, close to five hours one way. And I believe I am the most northern Alberta member. If it's in Edmonton, or close, I can do it. Grand Prairie would take some serious convincing.

That was another consideration I should have mentioned. I'll never forget the sweetest, lucky corner I ever hit. Heading west on Argyll, turning left onto 75th Street. Intersection wide open. Driving a recently purchased '70 Newport convertible, with a good 440, and sticky, not recently adjusted...

Damn welded on hitches! I've dealt with those too, no fun. The worst was the '71 Polara parts car I bought. It had a full skid plate covering the tank welded on! I've been wanting to do what you are doing too! And will definitely be taking notes. Is the original + coil wire not switched? I'm...

Well, Damn. Now I feel like a sucker for buying OEM Monroe's all these years. I have known of the KYB's, but never splurged. Next time. New Monroe's are always better than the old one's! And cheap. They do the job.

I just noticed the vinyl roof has padding. Do you know what the deal is with that? The paint also looks on the fresh side. Low mile refresh?

Gotta be more than just valve covers left, right? Steering knuckles from those models are particularly sought after. Nice Mirada wheels will always be worth something too.

That's a '73 with tits so, almost, if not right on the line at 19 feet. And I agree, how do you miss that!? I guess they didn't miss it, unfortunately. I read alot about driving psychology, and oddly enough, alot of people are drawn to bright colours and lights like moths. Those flatbed pickup's...

I second that, not sure if it's "visqueen", but I use heavy poly, and as a cheat, I use 1/2"x1/16" two sided foam tape, rather than contact cement.
