I don't agree. Perhaps you are attending a venue that only is attended by the muscle car folks. I have a Chrysler 300F and it is swarmed at local car shows by all who see it, including the Corvette, GTO and Charger crowd. I have just purchased a 56 Southampton coupe and I am certain it will bring the same reaction. And I have a 57 Imperial Convertible that I plan to restore next. Most "car people" appreciate the long sweeping lines that our Imperials have and the luxury they represent from a gone-by era, especially the 50's and 60's cars. As most would agree, there is nothing like an Imperial on the road, and every car show I attend, they make quite a splash. True, died-in-the-wool car folks love to a nicely preserved or finely restored vehicle with great looks, highly optioned and large engines. Imperials have it all. My opinion.

Hello fellow Imperialistic members. Here's the beef! I go to a local shopping center every week to see the classic car show. What I see are many muscle cars and few classic Caddys or Lincolns. I've never saw any Chrysler Imperials ,but tonight I did see a 1957- 300. It made me think either these cars did not stand the test of time or they are just not desirable enough to keep them alive. I even went to a local booth there where he sold toy cars (Hot Wheels/ models). I asked him if he had any Chrysler Imperials and he said no I don't- you're the first person to ask for them in a long time. Looking around for myself he did have one on the table - the "Green Hornet" imperial- pathetic or what!! I'm so disappointed to this end- that no one knows of an Imperial or Chrysler as a Classic American car. And fellows, as we go to meet are maker so too will the Legacy of our Imperials. -Unfortunately and a sad TRUISM - Anthony P.S. Let's face it , 40 years from now or soon the classic cars at these shows will be Toyota's, Lexus and Honda's, Volvos, Infiniti etc. ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
