Robi ◊ 2010-12-09 21:27	I would like to know if this car still is in Japan today...

Many of the American "Road Barges" that were so popular in the 50's and 60's were subject to new strict emissions regulations in the 1970's. A good amount of them were deemed unfit and sent to the car crushers. In certain rural areas in Japan in junkyards, you can still see the remains of these cars. There was a wrecking yard very close to my home when I resided there where the owner made a display of the front pieces of several American Cadillac's and Buicks. This Imperial probably suffered the same fate, unfortunately.

He and James Cagney retired way too earlier for my taste, and many other film enthusiasts, albeit for different reasons: Grant wanted to devote his time to raising daughter Jennifer, while Cagney got fed up with Horst Bucholz's prima donna behavior on "One, Two, Three". Qball is always a great resource for the motoring scene in Japan. The Japanese car industry burgeoned in part by exceptionally strict annual road test inspections, and I am sure that a '63 Imperial would not have much of a following in Japan to preserve it. American cars were developing a negative reputation (accurately or not) in Japan in the 1970s for being fuelish, unreliable / shoddy workmanship, and an association with Yakuza. The Toyota Century and Nissan President were quickly replacing cars like the Imperial for business leaders. I just can't see a 1963 Imperial having a place much beyond a few years. The salty ocean air would not be too kind to this vehicle regardless of Chrysler Corporation rustproofing treatment at the factory. The upside is that in today's, all those cars that are no longer worth spending money to keep on the roads, the market for used JDM vehicles has expanded greatly by exporting decent cars to other countries (especially RHD locales) rather than scapping them in a country with such limited space.
