Re: IML: cutting an '81 Imperial



I've never heard from such sensitive guys.  You would think I insulted
their mothers.  As the most loyal Chrysler fan, I just can't accept what
they did to the 60 and 61's, and these guys love them!  IML is a mutual
admiration society and I am dropping out.  Glad I met Dick Benjamin, tho.
 He had warned me about their opinion of the 80's Imperial.
