IML: The push button controversy

["Douglas Nieblas" <doug58imp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you all for contributions and "opinions" about the demise of push 
button automatics. The point is that the government did have a hand in it, 
but so did marketing as well as other factors. I still don't believe that it 
was caused by women breaking their nails. A question? Where could I get 
reproduction seat covers for my 58 Crown coupe the ones with a zillion 
crowns stitched to the cloth sections? Also, I would like to find someone 
who would fabricate lower rear quarter panels for my coupe without me owing 
them a king's ransom or having to give them my first-born child (just 
kidding) Happy Imperialing folks
                                 Doug
                                 58 Crown coupe
