Re: IML: 1960 Imperial. Why was it a one year only design?

["Henry Hopkins" <hhrp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 60, 61, and 62 bumpers rear bumpers were the same.  The 61,62 and 63
front bumpers were the same, I believe.  Basically, the change from 60 to 61
was a new front clip, body wise and a reworking of the rear fins/taillights.
They're the same from the cowl back to the reworked fins. Of course, the
dash board changed.  My opinion is that the 61, 2,3 dashboards are not
nearly as classy as those for 59 and 60.
