This is a great picture of a 66 Crown 4 door. This particular car has the optional vinyl top and looks fantastic.

This ad photo shows the 66 LeBaron. All LeBarons are four doors with frameless side windows. This particular model does not have the optional full vinyl top. All 66 Imperials employed extensive use of wood veneer on the inside of these cars made from 100+ year old trees!

The 66 Imperial Crowns were the entry level Imperials for this year. All 66 Imperials shared the beautiful Elwood Engel designed bodies and the unique "egg crate" grille design.

4-door Hardtop With all the windows down. The lack of a center post gave a real open air feel to the driving experience.

This photo of an Imperial Convertible. Drivers of these convertibles could count on seeing others like it only rarely because only 514 of these models were produced for the year. This particular car was once an "Imps of Omaha" Parade car owned by a Shriner in Omaha Nebraska.

This shows the tilt steering wheel used on this year of Imperials with the thin rim of metal inside. All Imperials of this year had extensive use of real wood trim interspersed throughout the interior.

This shows the glass headlight covers used for 66 only. Note the 24K Gold bands around the glass. A real "Touch of Class". This is a one year only feature.

The gas tank filler is found behind the round eagle which swings down for access to the gas cap. This particular style of gas filler cover is used for 64-66 Imperials.
