Don't be too surprised that IML folks have not
noticed the article in Autoweek. I say this because my 60 Imperial is on
the cover of the July Hemmings Motor News with an accompanying article on 60
to 63 Imperials. One person mentioned the article. Two friends on
the IML sent me congratulatory notes and there may have been one other
mention. Of course, it is a really big deal for me. I guess IML
folks don't buy or subscribe to Hemmings. I expected there would be
quite of few reactions ranging from "Way to go!" to positive and/or negative
opinions about the article to "How did you get your car on the cover?" and
"Can I do that?" and "How?" etc.
I thought getting the word out about what great
cars Imperials are would be of interest. Ah well, I sure got a big kick
out of it.

Hi'
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the article
in AutoWeek magazine about Imperials. It was a column by the publisher, Rich
Ceppos about the recent Orphan Car Show in Yspilanti, Michigan. He and other
AutoWeek people judged the "Orphans of the Big Three" class and gave the
trophy to ".....a showroom-perfect
flesh-colored 1957 Imperial with only 12,000 original miles on it. It's
big-finned optimism shouted 'Detroit at it's peak'
".
