When Tom Dirnberger announced his two special colors, I ordered both open & closed. Tom's Imperial models came in Indian Turquoise, both with double headlights and Sunset Rose with single headlights. I took the open version of the Turquoise and the closed version of Rose models and switched the front assemblies. I now have one of each headlight option in both colors. It was an easy switch, and I am very pleased with them.
1957 Imperial Crown Convertible, LE #01 of 70 (Tom indicated 60 of each color open/closed - but the model is labeled 70, not sure which is correct) in Indian Turquoise.
