If I were to buy another Formal........

[1978 NYB]

If I were to buy another Formal...it would be this one. A 74 Imperial Coupe. They only made 57 of them in Y4 Golden Fawn.


Unfortunately, this 18,982 mile beauty is for sale at my favorite midwestern car dealer.

Hey Stan.........check out the steering wheel. It'll pop right in to your NY'er. And maybe easier to acquire than the red one from Frank. And it'll look cool!!!

No it won't. I hate that wheel.
The factory did you a favor by making a junkyard find OEM.

BIG bucks for that one.

why is it black and why do you hate that wheel?

All the 74 C's with t&t had that wheel. You could get it in any color as long as it was black. There is a million stories on why Ma Mopar made this decision but I'm going with the second shooter on the grassy knoll theory. I hate it because the whole FN interior is color coordinated and a black wheel looks like you went to the pick & pull and all you could find was a black one.

So its not the wheel but the color?

 

[commando1]

Only because of it's non-matching color. That is correct.
You don't think it looks totally out of place?

Same wheel as our T&T...just has a slightly different horn pad design.
