... I know nothing's as pretty as a picture but the convertible top on that '62 looks quite convincing.  It's among the best scale convertible tops I've ever seen.    😎 😎

All of these are excellent looking Imperial replicas. It is a gorgeous car with a dramatic presence, both as a model and as the real automobile.

@jkuvakas John, next to the 55, the 62 is my favorite Imperial.

@bob-jackman Bob;  Its the '55, '56 then '62 Imperials in order for me.  It's all about those taillights!

I guess I'm the odd-man-out.   I love Imperials but hate gunsight  or  flashlight  taillights; I want fins with taillights in them, not ON them.    So...   my Imperial pecking order would be:   1957, '60, '61   😎 😎 😎  

Imperial 3
Imperial 4
Imperial  2
rare 6
Imperial  1
Imperial 6
Imperial 5

@chris Oh my Chris! These are all fantastically handsome!

Since we both love the '57 year model; here's one that never got made by DM:

011
012
013
