> Self-Introduction: I submitted a self-introduction about a year ago, but am resubmitting do to an upgrade in my browser;  I have been unable to "chat" with other members because my letters only got through occasionally.  Hopefully, this is now corrected, and I can ask questions and offer experiences to my valued Imperial peers.

> I always admired the stalk-eyed Imperial, ever since I saw a picture of the new '61 front end on the cover of the "New Cars" issue of Motor Trend for that production year.  I finally bought my first one in 2005, a '63 Crown Coupe (the actual car featured in the color article from 1990 that is shown on the club's 1963 model page). After driving it, I can see why Tom McCahill of Mechanix Illustrated rated it the best highway car in the world.

> I've been busying myself with replacing accessories, redoing the brakes, etc., and hope to get it to a state of dependable reliability over the coming months. The Imperial Owner's club has been a tremendous help, especially through searching the archives.  One example is when I had to replace a faulty fuel pump in a lightning storm, and was able to learn about the tiny pushrod between the cam and the pump arm that was blocking installation, and which I would never had known about had I not been able to research it through the club.  I might still be trying to get the darn thing in place without the empirical knowledge amassed by the club.  Thanks for a great site!
