-Hi All.....when I checked for insurance on my '66 Imperial convertible, I found out that the local AAA Club now has started to insure the Collector Car market. If you have your other cars (and maybe your house) also insured with them there is a additional discount. You might check it out.

I believe that you had to keep a note book in the car at all times documenting where and when you had driven it amongst other restrictions. I am sure that every State is different. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frederick Joslin" To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: IML: How much is a necessary cost?

I do not drive this car very much and I do not believe that the police are too worried about enforcing those restrictions anyway. Bigger fish to fry! I feel that it is very nice to have this option if you can use it and do not abuse it. Also I have insurance through State Farm tagged on with my other policies which runs about $8/month. This is for an Antique vehicle with limited use with no collision/comp which again is appropriate. My total non operating cost for this vehicle runs about $100/year (soon to be one tank full of gas!!!!!!!). This choice fit perfectly with my use of the car. Also, in Washington, you only need the rear plate for an antique vehicle which I think makes the car a little more aesthetically pleasing. I really love the front end of the Fuselage Imperials, especially the 69's and they look even better without the front licence plate (in my opinion). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darrell Smith" To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: IML: How much is a necessary cost?

No tax, no registration, no safety inspection... Sweeeeeet Fred, Are there restrictions on when and where you can drive your car? I live in DC and when I went to have my '73 inspected, the inspetion tech told me not to get Antique plates, since that would limit when I could drive my car. Only on weekends, holidays and parades. I went ahead and got regular plates, and can enjoy my car all the time. ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
