RE: IML: Imperial in "Sin City"

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I saw it last night too.  It was pretty odd.  I knew it was a comic book, 
but my girl was not amused by the violence.  I'm pretty sure the car was a 
'58 based upon what I remember of the front. It had a two tone or aluminum 
roof.  The big shock is that unlike almost EVERY other Imperial in a movie 
it's blue!  I was beginning to think there were only black Imperials in 
Hollywood.
