Very nice. The 62 had some very unique styling.

It's a great model that faithfully captures the look of Imperial for '62, but I can NEVER look at '62 Imperials without seeing the GHOSTS of those 1961 fins. The car will always be a hastily conceived hack-job in my opinion.

Have it in maroon top up. Love it.

I was 9 years old and I was so impressed by the design of that Imperial. I couldn't believe it, it looked different than any other luxury car I had ever seen Cadillac didn't compare neither did Lincoln although Lincoln I believe I love Lincoln over the Cadillac but the imperial with those freestanding headlights and those tail lights they knocked my socks off as a 9-year-old kid especially with the space program going on with Mercury. I was absolutely in love with this car and I still am. No $ involved here, but if I had the chance to pick between all three luxury cars Lincoln Cadillac and Imperial I would in a heartbeat pick that Imperial.

Although the 62 Imperial is my second favorite, next to the 55, the 62 Cadillac is my all time favorite post war favorite Cadillac.

Hey now.....wouldn't these three from 1962 make a great Bono comparo?

You bet they would... And I'm pretty sure you know which one I would vote for.
