Pics from Back in the Day

The original owner's son wants me to reinstall the trailer hitch, as well as the Imperial hood ornament. I've compromised, and display a 1969 brochure from the dealership that describes the trailer towing package in detail., when I show the car. I also hung a '66 Imperial hood ornament from the rear view mirror, but I wasn't willing to re-drill the original hood. There's a minor paint flaw over the weld filling the hole where the ornament was mounted back in the day. I'm planning on passing the car back to the family when I'm gone, and they can do with it as they please.

Good story and I actually thought I saw a hood ornament on it but assumed it was my eyes not seeing well.

Original owner was was a fighter pilot in WWII, and he liked the idea of having a gun sight ahead of him. He also couldn't resist the appeal of the eagle with wings spread, and later incorporated that same image into the dealership stickers he placed on new cars. I still have one of the originals that was never mounted, as well as all the sales literature and dealership paperwork that went with the car.

That is great to have and so rare with many of these cars.
