NOT MINE '68 Mobile Director.

Power vent windows swing out the same way as the ones that crank and while I’m driving by myself I can control every piece of glass that moves in the car with one finger and without taking my eyes off the road.

Okay, I assumed that these windows would roll up and down, not have powered swing. Kinda cool, but it's not hard to manipulate a manual one by hand without taking your eyes off the road :).
 
Cadillac Fleetwoods had power vents on both front and rear (quarter window), that is pretty cool.

Not the passenger side from the driver’s position. I’m 6’1” with the arms of a trombone player and I can only barely reach the passenger door from the driver’s seat.

LOL fair, I didn't think that one would need to adjust the passenger side vent window. The air flow through the kick-panel vents is tremendous and what I use for cooling... I just wish Chrysler had not put the controls for seemingly everything behind the steering wheel!

So odd to me to think of a "mobile director" business man guy conducting business a.) in his car, and b.) in a 2-door! Will your suit-clad client want to pour himself into the back seat of a 2-door to conduct business? They were different times, I suppose...

What if grand parents bought it so grandma could talk and play games with the grand kids on the 600 mile drive home for summer vacation?
The reason is not clear why it was bought.
Different line of thought.

Could be; that'd be a fun option, and easier for people to talk to one another than in a station wagon.

Other than the lack of power vents and cruise, it looks like a high option car. Twilight sentinel, rear defogger, 8 track player, possible TNT engine, and the AM/FM stereo package (note speaker in the door).
 
When I worked at a Chrysler dealer I would take diffraction cars home and them power vents were pretty cool in there day

There was no TNT option for Imperial. There was the “dual dual” option, which gave you dual-snorkel air cleaner and dual exhaust. The engine was still rated at 350 horsepower.

Actually I think there was an advertised bump in HP up to 360, wasn’t there?

Not from what I’ve read but it’s been a few years and I’m going from memory. Do you have any lit that says anything about it?

I think I do somewhere but it might have been in the ‘68 Data book which I no longer own.

In my 68 Fleet Buyers data book
Dual exhaust Code 390.
No increase in horsepower.

If the hp figure for the 440 dual wasn't given by Chrysler Corporation, where are people getting the 360hp from?, it would make sense though. This article mentions it: 1967-1968 Imperial
Edited as wrong link was uploaded.
