I think I'd love to have a 1974-75 Lebaron Sedan, but it's so hard to find. The only negatives that I know of so far is that the Imperials had the smallest motor (lol) and they were the slowest of the three.
And best of luck ever finding one outside the desert southwest since they didn't sell many to begin with and their unibody construction coupled with poor rust inhibition and questionable build quality means the vast majority cashed out to rust long before you were born. I can't imagine many survived the upper midwest winter road salt-fests, and even out here in sunny SoCal, you don't see many Mopar products from that era.
