Show us your Imperial! You should be able to simply drag a picture into the text area you are typing in to upload a picture of your Imperial. Even if it's not the shiniest car, let's see those Imperials!

Also have this ‘64 Impvertible which I have recently gotten running after a slumber in long term storage for no less than 12 years and who knows how long before that. It’s been in my possession for a year.

Mark - very cool looking cars!

Some massive headrests on those beasts - Is that stock? I really don't know much about the 64 model year, but I like the headrests on yours. I don't have any headrests on my 66 really.

Got any pictures of the interior like the dash?

DetMatt1 - nice 67! I was very strongly considering a 67 "Impvertible" (thanks for that new term) but at the time I leaned toward a 66 instead. These cars have such a unique look to them all over the years.

Here is my 1961 Imperial Crown convertible, named NO XQS. It was fully restored to factory standards in 2006 and has completed four cross-country Great Race rallies since then, plus many long trips to concours and shows - about 20,000 miles so far, so total mileage since new is now about 86,000.

That's a nice 61, but at only 86k miles, I'm shocked it needed such a thorough restoration. She had another 100k miles before she needed it. :)

I guess things do dry up and crack and such... VERY nice looking car.
