Old Man with a Hat
A friend here in Birmingham has one of these. A nice original with weak paint. For sale I think.

I've had the opportunity to see one in the flesh once. Around the time I started getting into C Bodies, a friend of mine, the owner of the first 67 Monaco 500 I'd ever seen in my life's father was (I kid you not) 15 years into the restoration of a 56 La Femme and I visited it. At the time it was mostly complete .. at least to the extent that I could sit in it. .. as far as I know, it's still not complete.
Another awesome La Femme story that my father used to tell me was of when a degenerate buddy of his stole his mothers La Femme and threw all the accessories out the window on the highway .. if that dumb *** had any idea what those pieces were worth today ..
Hey, what's this? Advertised as a 1974 Imperial CC, 1 of 57.

SCRATCH THAT. I finally read what I posted
March of 1974, Chrysler celebrating its 50th Anniversary, sold ONLY (57) of these classic vehicles. I have one of them. And mine is one of one of (57) as I changed the entire color of the vehicle from the Golden Fawn that is was appointed with to Formal Black – base coat / clear coat – with Black leather and Mushroom Quartz velour interior. A stunning look and featured on the back of a WPC Chrysler magazine. Call for details.

1961 Imperial two-tone. Somebody messin' with us? An urban legend in the making? All the ads/cars I see are mono-colored.

A lot of links in the thread I edited in to my previous post, as you were replying.
For Sale - 1974 Imperial coupe.
These "White Hat Special" cars seem to be everywhere and therefore NOT particularly "rare"?
Never saw anybody advertising one braggin' about that .. if they even knew it was a "WHS" I doubt it makes any difference in a transaction for one?
Or was there something "special" about any of them?

You are bidding on a seldom seen 1973 Dodge Polara Custom "Spring Special" 4 door hardtop. The Spring Special package included plaid cloth and vinyl seats, red accented exterior mouldings, and special emblems on roof pillars. I thought someone may want to save this special Dodge.
The interior is very good, including very nice black dashpad. With a good cleaning and headliner replacement, the interior is usable as-is. The floors, including trunk look to be pretty solid, but the body has plenty of rust. The lower 1/4's and fenders at the lower heel are rusted, hood is rusted, rust around backglass, rear frame rails have rust. T
The front subframe appears pretty good. It is equipped with a 360 2 barrel automatic, seems to run good, exhaust is shot. Transmission works, but leaks when it sits. Brakes work. Other equipment on the car includes: cruise control, air conditioning (missing compressor), AM/FM radio-works, power steering, and power disc brakes. The speedometer shows 92,000 miles, I don't know if it is accurate. Has clear Ohio title.

Wanted dead or alive although I don't know where this "plenty of wood grain trim" is. Seems thin plastic to me.
so much for truth in advertising in 1973.Yours? If not, do you know the backstory on it? Thanks tbm3fan.

Your thread is a good idea, but you're taking a dump in the middle of it by lending credibility to these home-made cars.

This car, along with the Plymouth (Aspen) Fury and Dodge (Sundance) Polara; were not any of the above... Unless your idea of a limited run is one example done by the styling department for the show circuit. But again, you're lending credibility to some who will claim their uncle owned one with a 383 Hemi.
i dont see your point on the "dump" thing. I asked a question about the 61 Imperial Were there any factory two-tones in this era ... or is this somebody's creation. If i knew the answer, would not have asked.
