Re: IML: AACA Meet in Mobile, AL

It was a great show, but only one Imperial.  It was a very pretty '59 Crown 
Coupe up from Miami.  There was a '64 (I think) 300H convertible that was 
fabulous, and two late 60s (pre-fuselage) Newport convertibles.   One was a 
woody, a style I'd never seen in person.  There was a '67 300 coupe and a 
'75 Cordoba, but no other post 1950 Mopars.   I didn't see the woody Newport 
before I heard it.  The guy started it at one point and that unmistakable 
gear-reduction starter sound crashed across the rows of vehicles.  It wasn't 
hard to find it after that.

Greg and Russel were there, showing Greg's Cadillac.  I didn't get to stay 
long enough to see if he got his Junior.  It was a very pretty car, though, 
and I imagine it did well.  As I arrived G & R were rapidly polishing the 
front chrome to remove the signs of an obviously minor engine fire.  Greg 
told me a new battery cable, a few inches longer than it should have been, 
was resting against the manifold and caught.  They must have discovered and 
extinguished it instantly, because by the time I was there I couldn't see a 
thing wrong with the engine compartment. Everything gleamed like new.

We had a great time (I went with my father-in-law), and the best part was 
visiting with the owners and hearing their stories.  I'm relatively new to 
this hobby, and this was my first judged show.  I'm starting to see what the 
fuss is all about., and also more appreciative of my own two cars.
