No Warranty Plate shown on blue 1965, but there is on the Caribbean Turquoise 1965 linked to in post 1.
1961/66 F100/350:
1961/62 USA: Warranty Plate located on the inside of the glove box door.
1963/66 USA & 1966 Canada: Warranty Plate located on the left door face below the latch.
Some 1960's Passenger Cars have the Warranty Plate located on the left (drivers) side A pillar between the hinges, some have it located on the left door face.
1965 Canada Rating Plate, VIN and codes stamped thereon are different than 1965 US trucks.
1966 Canada trucks use the same Warranty Plate and codes as US trucks.
The LWB has a better ride and will carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood with the tailgate closed.
Why wouldn't a guy want a LWB?
Because I have a 2011 F250 diesel to haul crap around in.
Plus... I need to be able to fit something in my garage which is why I turned down a cherry 1964 Imperial Lebaron recently which was nearly just given to me.

It all comes down to personal taste.
The shortbed stylesides have a great squatty little look about them that I think can't be beat.
For hauling junk around and carelessly throwing stuff in the bed of a truck, I typically keep a long bed Ford truck around from roughly the late 80's or early 90s. They're plentiful in Texas and dirt cheap (especially if you buy one that looks like crap and needs some minor engine repairs).

This is a highly desirable car for Chrysler nuts, first year of this body style, the hardtop & especially the ragtop are worth more than the 4 door.
You coulda bought it, flipped it for at least 10 grand, then bought a cherry Slick and had money left over.
You must have a short garage, I once owned a 1965 Imperial hardtop, it's shorter than my 231 1/2" 2011 F150 Stupor Crew with 5.5' bed that fits into my garage with 6" to spare.

You coulda bought it, flipped it for at least 10 grand, then bought two nice Slicks and had extra money left over.

Off-topic I know...
The '64 Imperial Lebaron is considered by some to be the pinnacle of auto production by many from that year.
It is 18.9+ feet long.
This one needs an engine rebuild but has an absolutely excellent interior and not a spot of rust.
I already have issue with my F250 being about 6 inches too long for the garage in the house we're renting and the HOA.
I have to park it away from the home since it won't fit in the garage.

The '64 Imperial resembles the 1961 Continental & Thunderbird as all were styled by Virgil Exner who was originally with FoMoCo, then went to work at Chrysler Corp.
Personally, I prefer the 1964 Buick Rivera over any other vehicle of this year. I'm also partial to the 1964 Studebaker GT Hawk.

The '64s were entirely Engel designs. (Also from Ford for that matter)
