Brazed patch Panel. Rare sight These days, probably some older work. Not so great old repaint too, though I like the Color. Mopar Derby car as a catch word ? WTF
Tinley Park Il. could mean some more patched rust, used to live there for a month in some Student Exchange and most of the cars of that vintage were pretty dead even then 27 years ago.

Rare Imp. Are those seats correct?

Buckets were available, but I think These are a bit younger. Exterior colorchange as well, used to be green.

I'm surprised you guys didn't mention how wet the driveway is in some of the pictures. The hose was put away at least.

 

[live4theking]

I'm not sure, but I think this car has been listed on ebay for months now.

No power vents....

I went poking on the Imperial club site and found the picture at this link ( www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1968/Brochure/Page14-15.jpg ). The interior on craigslist looks very similar to the original 1968 ad. The ad mentions "Crown Convertible seats". So maybe a drop-top got mugged for its interior? Or a special order? That said, I'm a :sSig_noob:, so could be way off.

Second thought, just saw this page (http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1968/Brochure/Page08-09.jpg). This mentions the Crown Coupe and looks similar as well.

The seats appear to have the side latch assembly. I didn't think that came into production until 1970.

 

[detmatt]

Yes these are later seats, absolutely.

WITH A LITTLE KNOW HOW AND TIME THIS IS A DIAMOND READY TO BE POLISHED...

Ehhh.. for the Derby? Can he make up his mind, or is he just another CL buffoon ?

Thanks, Coronet! I would not have known to look for the side latch, nor would I have recognized the importance. That's why I like reading on here, learn something new every time.

I'll have to make it to a Shrewsbury show in 2016. And get the boys in Jersey to show up too!
