RE: IML: The '65 is home!

["Charles Prinzivalli" <cp910@xxxxxxx>]

I just brought my 64 Imperial home last week.  It does ride well and the car 
is all automatic.
The power seats work.  The original radio works.  The power antena works.  
The foot control for the radio works.  I don't know about the auto pilot and 
I can't get the drivers side mirror to adjust with the toggle on the dash.

The car is great.  I need to get pictures so I can begin the before and 
after going.
