These two are a nice set in their formal Raven Black coats. Both are from GLM, the Ghia Limousine was issued in 2015, and the convertible was issued in 2021.

Such giant and impressive Imperials, both in regal black. Both replicas look like real jewels.

You leave me in a quandary, John.  I always buy top down. But your pictures have convinced me of the regal beauty of a ragtop shielding its occupants from the rain or the cold. Both of these Imperials are gorgeous, perhaps especially the top-up convertible. I’m converted.

@sizedoesmatter +1  Very nice!  I much prefer the grille treatment of this year over the '59.

Older convertibles most always look best with their tops up, but they're enjoyed more with their tops down.     Now that I think about it, I guess the same could be said for women too....  🤔 🤨 🤔

@mg-harv And there was a NEO 1957 pink with white top four door hardtop.   The black Ghia limo, also by NEO, was a very rare Italian bodied stretch and very limited production, less that 15 a year as I recall and more than double the price of a Cadillac limo of the era.

Looking good in pink with the top down.
