Expert 5K+ Posts: 7207 Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | That 58 Chrysler, above is a Canadian Windsor, identical to the US Saratoga. There were not short (122") wheelbase 57-58 Chryslers or DeSotos built in Canada. Canada didn't get a Saratoga named Forward Look car until 1959. | ||

In The Netherlands, a vehicle always keeps it's same license plate (number), and nowadays you can check at the Dutch DMV over the internet to see whether a particular license plate number is stilll active. | ||

Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | Hey, Jim...can you super-enlarge the view around that Imperial, parked next to the 59 Ny'er? Trying to figure out what the deep-black color is, on its rear end; doesn't appear to be a shadow, and no real 'need' for its presence or application, on the photo. | ||

Trying to figure out what the deep-black color is, on its rear end; doesn't appear to be a shadow, and no real 'need' for its presence or application, on the photo. Is this what you meant? It does seem like a shadow indeed. But hey, it is an Imperial! And I see window stickers too!

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | Thanks! That black area is way too dark, and distinctly-edged, to be a shadow, on that Imp. That Coronet looks like its got the Custom Coronet interior (notched seat backs & upper Mylar trim), which would not include its also-optional 2-tone steering wheel. Its single exhaust pipe was standard equipment on the V/8 Coronet models. I dunno what that thing is, on its fender; way too-far-forward to be an OEM mirror, and the OEM mirror is installed to the rear of the fender antenna (which also may be an after-market installation, on this car; if that IS an antenna, at the base of the windshield!).

If you look at the shadows on the ground you'll also see that the whole of the Imperial will be in shade anyway. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 7207 Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | That DeSoto above is kind of strange - I think it's a Canadian built Adventurer -(low rear window indicates this) because the US Adventurer sedan had the high rear window. Also the bird-bath deck lid was not available on any DeSoto - this one has been added at some point. In fact looking closer this deck lid is not even a correct flight-sweep deck lid. Notice the groove at the bottom below the wheel outline. This isn't found on the flight-sweep deck lid. I found another photo of the car with Ontario license plates. https://www.flickr.com/photos/27610476@N06/5146304538/in/photostream/ Edited by imopar380 2014-06-15 12:00 AM | ||

The stick-on toilet seat was available at any Western Auto for many years, and real toilet seats could be bought at any corner hardware store. Also not the 1970's Dodge "Adventurer" truck emblems on the sides - not the long and finely scripted originals. Unless, of course, Canadian-built cars got different emblems too ? It's a shame they didn't add flippers to the wheel covers and perhaps some gill ribs off a NY'er or 59 Dodge. Maybe some running lights on the sides and some extra hood and fender ornaments for good measure ? Afterall, one could chrome the entire car and it still wouldn't be enough ! | ||

I didn't want to point out the low glass back window because I hoped you would. The missing (on Canadian Adventurers) b-post stainless trim also looks weird.
