Re: IML: Hayes Bodied Coupes

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I was pretty sure that there was something wrong with that number. I told a friend this morning that I believed the actual production on that car was around 25. Now that you mention it, I remember the story about the 1,000 bodies split up among the different divisions.

These cars were very attractive, and the only Imperial I have ever seen was a drawing!

>There is an extremely rare Hayes Body 1939 Imperial Coupe on Ebay. Check it out, you may never get a chance to see another one. It says that there were 1,000 made, but I have NEVER seen one. These were more popular in Mercurys around the same time, and those are super rare aslo.
