Re: IML: 1959 Experts

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

Ernie will probably come in on this one. He has access to the woven material necessary to make the shelf look right. He even knows how much you need.

I don't have a '57-'59, but I wanted the same material for my '60 through '62 models. The shelf is not a "two step" affair in these cars. Both Ernie and I leanred something about Imperial package shelves during our business transaction. 

I will offer that he is the closest thing to being the expert on package shelves, and since he is restoring a '58 (or two), he could be considered an expert on the specific application for those cars. 

The last Imperial with an exposed rear speaker grille that I know of was a 1956.

The painting and chrome installation is "promised" to be completed in 2 weeks (history says this means 4 weeks). So by early June I expect to be "motoring".
>I have a question related to the "package tray". My package tray has two levels to it and the car is equipped with rear A/C as well as a rear speaker. This means there is one intake vent and two discharge vents for the A/C and there is also the rear speaker mounted at the back. This is the question: ?Is there a grille or ??? mounted on top of the speaker? It looks like something is missing.
