Thanks to Al Navis for an update on these photos. (7/22/06) This artist's rendering above probably was supposed to be the vehicle that GM contributed to the Queens Royal Tour, but if that one was built, it wasn't used for that Tour. Instead, Chrysler and Ford also were invited to construct limousines for the Tour. The two pictures of the 1959 Imperial which were used are below. (The fact this is a 1956 and the Queen arrived in 1959 is a bit confusing)
