Imperialists,
Here, Here to the '56's!!!...........The true
Coming of Age Car as the embryonic forces which would later incarnate to Full
Bloom in the '60's were planted with these beauties: aesthetically the gunsight
taillights, which in my opinion were never duplicated in such a
pleasing fashion in the forthcoming years, the split grille (did
anyone see those go off on eBay for $1150 the other day? Wow!) with the Imperial
Eagle so rightly prominent between the two and just as properly placed at the
trunk, the essence of power EVERYTHING for comfort including A/C plus the
front cowl fresh air intake which not only looks great going down the road but
with the rear quarter vents open creates a phenomenal natural cooling
breeze on even a sticky Northeast day, pure thunder power w/280 stock
horses out of the outrageously monstrous block 354 and sweet shifting with
the Three Speed Pushbutton Torqueflight, the sightless rumble of
the no-show duals, handling for its years unparalleled and to this day SO
impressive, especially in corners for such a weighty beast, and just so darn
pleasing to drive..............other Imperials do turn heads, but the
'56 snaps them to attention!!! And what goes
without saying is that the BEST
Imperial of all is the one with YOU behind
the wheel!!!
