This is what mercedees was trying so hard to emulate; how to appeal to the American market.

The Imperials of the 1950s and 1960s were all kinds of epic... I'm not sure if I'm big on the red/green "Christmas" colour combo though.

If you look VERY closely, you can see a life-size 2011 Ford Fiesta SE hatch parked on the hood ornament.

Cool...the dark green reminds me of an old diecast toy Imperial I have of that era..one thing I've wondered before about the stainless steel roof on models like this (or the Caddy Eldo in the '80s)--is the outer roof skin SS or is it an SS panel overlaying the regular roof skin (like a vinyl top)?

^ The Impy and the '70s-80s Eldos were overlays. Only one that maybe wasn't was the '57-58 Eldo Brougham- not sure there.

The Impys had the same contour in the roof whether you had the 'stainless trim' level ("Crown"??) or not.
