Hello fellow Imperialist: I just checked in on E Bay and found the ’55 Imperial super stretch
limo used in the movie Hudson Hawk listed. This is kind of coincidental
as I just saw the car last Saturday when I toured the Now it is on EBay for the “Buy it Now” price of $50,000.
Don’t get me wrong- I love Imperials. I have owned several and
currently own a wonderful ’55 sedan, but I don’t see how this car
is worth that kind of ching. First of all, I was disappointed in the
fit-and-finish used in the rear passenger area. I thought the seating
area was cheesy and much of the trim not well put together. The paint was
in need of attention and there was quite a bit of pitting on the exterior
chrome. The car has the stock 331 Hemi, a mighty power plant to be sure,
but I think even it would be challenged with such a large car to move. Anyway, I will be following this auction with great interest.
