A 1962 Imperial two-door, with gleaming black finish passed a knowing car person late at night on Interstate 5 in Southern California over the weekend past. The Imperial was so impressive, she was paced for a time so as to provide a car-type passenger with additional viewing time plus wheelbase, engine displacement, and final drive ratio as issued stock 43 years ago. All this was communicated with enthusiasm and genuine awe at the Imperial's shape, size, beauty, and road presence. Congratulations to the driver (and hopefully owner).
Pace vehicle: 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited w/ 5.7 L HEMI.........rate of pace, a steady 85 mph.......
