Imp + No A/C = Blasphemy

No air is odd, but still not unusual, depending on where the car was bought new. If a Reno car new, it could go either way.

No air and no vinyl top but I like it and it looks like a fair price. No air is not total blasphemy!

It does have a switch for rear air though...

I suspect non A.C. car. If it was A.C. then it would have some type of temp. control. Either way this is a "Steal".

Hey, I resemble that remark! My new LeBaron was ordered without AC. It was originally ordered in northeast PA. Probably wouldn't work anyway, so it's saving me a lot of hassle. LOL

I'll be the first one to admit, had I stayed in New England, A/C wouldn't be a requirement for me but it just seems weird that so many Imps didn't have them when literally every Caddy and Lincoln did.

If anyone is interested I would be happy to go inspect this car for you. I live in Reno and am looking for a 1976-78 New Yorker St. Regis.

That switch turns on what is basically a rear defogger, mine has the same thing.

Does it indicate rear heat? Mine has the rear heat option (and AC). You could apparently order rear heat or rear AC, but not both.

That is a nice car. If I had the space, I'd buy it for (gasp!) parts. Just what I need, to go from zero to two Imperials in less than a year.

There never was a rear heat option on any Chrysler.
There never was a rear A/C on any Formal.

I think it's time for a clarification.
There was a heated rear window Defogger. The warm air blowing through a vent thingie.
Later replaced by an electric rear window defroster. The wires in the glass thingie.

 

[bajajoaquin]

I beg to differ. My car has rear heat, and I believe that it has a rear heater core. I haven't inspected it personally, but there is a heater hose that runs aft which is blocked off (which suggests that my rear heater core is leaky). Rear AC cars were an option, and you can apparently tell which ones they are by the placement of the spare tire. The standard placement of the spare had to be moved more to the side to make way for it.

Edited to add: Page 1-13 of the FSM (sorry no screen shot today) has a section for "Rear Seat Heater" which gives installation instructions that have a first step of, "Position heater assembly in luggage compartment...."

So you're right. No Chrysler had them. But an Imperial is not a Chrysler.

I have one Imperial with manual crank windows, always thought that was weird

The mobile director package was such an expensive option there had to be a reason such as climate for it to not have AC

I never mind being told i'm wrong when I learn something new.
Thanks for the clarification.

When did that become heated? Most drew air from inside the cabin then blew it out onto the rear window. What years and models were heated?

BIG guess here: 1976.

The blower style is just that: a blower. There was no heater core for the blower rear defrost. It used ambient air. The inlet was on the parcel shelf and looked like a speaker cover, same or similar to the grille covering the fan outlet.

The rear seat heater had at least two IIRC, air outlets in the front of the base of the seat cushion. There was a heater core and plumbing back to it from the engine. I don't believe there was any control over the heat temperature, I believe the blower for it was about all the control there was.
