Location: bishop, ca | I've often wondered about how/why the above advertisements, and others, showed cars having humongous front wheel
wells, as compared to the appearance of the wheel opening as seen on the blue Crown, up above here.
Can't imagine that IMP had different fenders available.
I don't think that it's very attractive, having the front wheel get 'lost', inside that huge wheel well opening.
Notice how the woman's red gown mimics the shape of the car's wheel opening.

Location: bishop, ca | You're doing quite well with what you're posting, right here, Morgan.
If any IMP were to have an extravagantly shaped front fender treatment, it would have been the 59(+) models.
Both of the red-58's look like depictions of real cars, and not pure artwork-illustrations.

Location: Colo Spgs | Hola All
During the same time frame as I was having a "Stroke" I was looking at a 1962
Imperial Crown. I could hardy walk on flat pavement when I got the car. Another
who lived here told me that I could park the car next to his garage. This was the
way it was until last Nov. He moved to Ariz and I moved the car.
I put some new rear springs on the car and I "gave" the Imperial Div spec'd
Power Steering Pump, the High Amp Alternator and brackets to Tony of this
site for his project that he is working on ( at a slightly faster speed than what
I am doing ).
For those of you learning about the Imperial Div, the 1957 to 1966 Frame is
swapable. The same is for the Wind Shield Glass. The 1959 15 inch Wheels
are the same part number also on the 1966 Imperials and the list goes on
and on.

Why in the Hell-o did he ever drive Crap-a-lacks?
At least we have "Cinder-Fella", with J. Lewis....and, "Where the MEN are", with G. Hamilton [talk about contrasts!].

Location: bishop, ca | Everybody take notice of how deeply the Imperial Crown motifs were embossed into the seats of Elvis'
car?
Saw a white/red-interior 1957 IMP vert at the B-J a few years ago, and the best that the restorer could do (back then,
anyway) was to engrave the 'Crowns' right into the leather. Sad.

Location: Glen Rock PA | Another 58 Imperial Crown picture. This is a page from the original 1958 Imperial sales foldout. It has a great photo of the original blue interior. You can see that my interior was installed using the original material and I am looking for a solution to add the the crown embossing for the center consoles and rear side door pannels.

| Sometimes, rain and overcast skies can be your friend photographically; while the club kids toured Biltmore House,
I stayed outside in a fine drizzle and snapped away. Glad I did, though I should have used a polarizing lens.
Enjoy this '55 sedan and '56 Crown Imperial in Color & B&W...
