Re: IML: 1974 Imperial 2dr E-Bay auction #4541442712

Don't be too hard on them Brad.  Every Imperial is "fullly loaded."  
Remember most e-bay browsers are not that familiar with Imperials.  They 
believe a/c, p/s, p/w, p/b, p/l and all those other initials mean a car is 
loaded.  I often come across 80's Imperials that are listed as having "every 
option."  Trouble is the only option is the sunroof and they never have it.
