My parents neighbor had a Chrysler Imperial. It was black with suicide doors on the back. Not sure the year. He only drove it in the summer. He would jack it up and take the wheels off in the winter. Of course, it had white walls. It looked like a mafia staff car.
“The Economy Class cabin of the 747 in the 60’s is worth the price alone. “
Considering the 747 didn’t fly till 1970, it must have been some ticket!
Are you sure it wasn't a Lincoln Continental? They have a similar look to the Imperial, and were manufactured with suicide rear doors. I don't recall any Imperial models with suicide doors as an option. All the pictures I can find with four-door Imperials all show normal doors.
I know it was a Chrysler Imperial. Maybe I am confused about the suicide doors.
It looked similar to the car in the movie “Animal House”. Maybe that it where I remembered the suicide doors from.
It was 40 some years ago. Holy Crap!
How many seats are there across on a 747 now? At least, one more.
Lots of things were better back then. My body, for one. BTT
The execution, though, looked more like some of the more exaggerated features pasted onto a Stude.
BTW, that's a great pic of Clint Eastwood in London.
“I don’t know how they managed to post a photo of a 1960 Imperial on a billboard in the fall of ‘56.”
That be fuzzy history.
Yeah. That was a Lincoln Continental in Animal House.
My grandpa had a 59 Imperial.
HUGE tailfins!
The fins are the same size / shape, but the bumpers are different.
Thanks for posting the photos. They’re great to see!

I’m here almost daily. Guess our paths just haven’t crossed.
Been a while for me to see your bro or cousin (kidding) MadIvan too.
You mean the competition that makes flying more common than taking a bus?
