And the 1958 Imperial limo by NEO
These were competitors to the Cadillac limo but were much, much more expensive being almost custom made by Ghia in Italy. Production ran from 1957 to about 1964 I think, but the numbers each year were less than 18 made. Someone really wanted to have the Imperial to pay the premium over a Cadillac. Interestingly, these started life as a two door car which supplied the rear quarter panel.

Are the GLM and Neos the same?

Harvey, these Imperials were discussed in a post back in April 2017
I started it because I was trying to decide between the two models, which are (obviously enough) are very similar but differ in detail.
Here's a link to that old Forum 43 post with comparison photos.
Various people contributed comments on the differences in finish (details done in P/E or silver paint, for example) and quality.
The question of whether GLM made 2 versions, with and without the "toilet seat" on the rear deck, wasn't resolved. You can find pics online apparently showing both versions. Only thing for sure is that the Neo doesn't have it.

Thanks Graeme - I had a vague recollection but forgot the outcome.
