The 1964 Imperials were the first designed entirely by Engel. Predictably. they bore a strong resemblance to the Lincoln Continental. The dashboards seemed more conventional because the squared-off steering wheel and electroluminescent dash lighting were gone. However. there remained the ribbon-style speedometer. A split grille returned after one year's absence. and the fake spare tire bulge atop the trunk lid gave way to a squared-off protrusion at the rear. carrying downward into the rear bumper. A large boss in the center of it was actually the fuel filler door. covered with a large Imperial Eagle. with chromed bars going outward that terminated in the taillights. Heat and defrost. always a popular option. were now standard.

The base Imperial Custom model was now gone; the cars were now available as a four-door hardtop in the Crown or LeBaron levels of trim. or as a two-door hardtop or convertible in the Crown level of trim. As a result power windows were now standard on all Imperials. Imperial Crown coupes adopted the smaller style LeBaron "formal rear window" that had been introduced in 1960. and both body styles could now be ordered with a vinyl roof. With 23. 95 produced. 1964 was Imperial's second best tally ever. A padded dash. power seats. power steering. power brakes. and head rests were standard. [11] A new option this year was an adjustable steering wheel. [12]

Changes for 1965 were largely confined to the front fascia and to trim. and replacement of the push-button automatic transmission gear selection system with a more conventional steering column-mounted shift lever. The split grille was gone. replaced by a large chromed crossbar and surround. and the headlights were inset into the grill behind glass covers (similar to that year's Chrysler 300 and New Yorker models) with etched horizontal lines imitating the grill. As pointed out by the sales literature. 100-year-old Claro Walnut trim was added to the interior. Production totaled 18. 09.
