Tom McCahill "I've been on some pretty fancy trains, including private cars, and to this writting have never found anything quite as comfortable or more capable of getting me to my destination as the '64 Imperial LeBaron. It's a great automobile."


Early Production History

Early production cars had release tabs on the front door pocket covers.

Early Imperials had an emblem on top of the dashboard by the windshield trim

Also seen early were two oval opening in the drivers side of the radiator support panel, for the power steering pump hoses to reach the optional power steering fluid cooler.
