Inspired by your pictures last week, John, mine is on the way! Looks fantastic in that color, it suits the car "to a T"!

Mine arrived yesterday and it's absolutely gorgeous! It will look fantastic on display next to this '61 convertible:
The colors look great together!

Another #01 John???
How many #01's do you have?
I know it isn't by chance that you get all the #01 models!
Tell us John....inquiring minds need to know! 🤔
It looks great in that color.

Not a whole lot really. These two '61 Imperial LeBarons, all 5 of the '75 Cordobas, 2 of my '59 Imperial conv, maybe 1 or 2 others. Not many.

Really nice John. Looking to see which colors will be available in Europe. It will suits very good with the convertible.

Looking at the Executive Grey LeBaron 4-door hardtop next to the Dubonnet Crown convertible, the attention to detail really stands out. Not only the seat upholstery, but even the door panels reflect the interior differences between the trim levels. And the LeBaron has two exterior mirrors while the Crown has only the driver's side one. Great collaboration by GLM and Tom Dirnberger!

Thanks, Karl, for the link. I enjoyed the article. I really look forward to each one of Tom's Imperial releases. They are all so incredible. I can't wait for the '60 coupes.

The gray one does look excellent with the Dubonnet, I've already taken some photos of them together. Just need to get them prepared.
