This model was issued in 2023. Released as part of the GLM Classics Series. Two colors were issued direct from GLM, and two colors were issued as Tom Dirnberger Exclusive editions. All four colors were offered in both open & closed convertibles.
I'll feature each model color in a separate post starting with the Festival Red version.

What beautiful car and 1/43 model ! This one is a real knock-out and it is in a gorgeous color here, too.

My second favorite Imperial next to the 55.

I was 9yrs old then and absolutely loved seeing those Imperials. The styling is what "knocked my socks off". If I'd had the $ and was old enough, obviously, I would have had a damned tough choice deciding between it, Lincoln and / or Cadillac. What a great year for luxury car buyers.

I know I'm in the minority here - and these Imperials are nice looking - but when I look at these I'll always see "plucked chickens." I miss the fins. Yes, yes... fins were truly outdated by 1962, but... 😔 🙁

Do I remember that your favorite fin is the '59 Caddy ? Or do you have a list of favorites ? I especially remember and like the '59 DeSoto's tail end.

Yes, my absolute favorite car IS the 1959 Cadillac - everyday, I regret selling my Coupe de Ville; I may buy another. I also love 1957 Dodge fins - I owned a Coronet Lancer 4-dr hardtop for over 10 years. I always loved 1957 Plymouths, '59 Buicks, '60 Chryslers, and '61 Cadillacs but never owned any.

I loved the "fins" on my Dad's '59 Impala 🤣

I like the tail end treatment of this '62 much more than earlier years.
