| This is an original issue AMT 1966 Chrysler Imperial, kit # 6816 To start off AMT never had the correct rear Bumper in this kit. Instead they changed the year on it, but it was actually a 1965 bumper. It had the backup lights next to the tail lights. In 1966 Chrysler extended the tailights and moved the backup lights to the lower part of the bumper. I corrected this by extending the tailights and scratch building backup lights, installing them in the proper place. Even the promo version was wrong. This car is airbrushed in the correct factory color of Spanish Red. The interior is highly detailed with Bare Metal Foil and hand painted woodgrain accents. The exterior is correctly foiled and detailed. The engine bay features the 440ci. engine with dual quads. The chassis is also detailed. The 440ci. engine was new for 1966, replacing the 413. The dual quads were a little known special order on this car. Take a look by enlarging the pictures. This was one nice Imperial. |
