[RE]Re: IML: Imperial hearse

["Mark Jefferson" <imperialist67@xxxxxxxxx>]

I get the same comment (and heebiejeebies) with my '67 LeBaron, originally sold in Vineland, NJ (close to where the Sopranos takes place), was stored in a (south!) Phila. warehouse for nearly 15 years, and was discovered with the trunk luck missing, and a locked glove box sans key. The black exterior/red interior combination adds to the mob mystique. Wear on driver and opposite passenger seats suggest that it was a (guido?) "driven" car. Not to mention that the title was signed over in 1981 and not registered again until I did so in 1996. 

I was advised not to bring the car back to NJ (it's kept in Wash. DC now)  and haven't done so. 

It never fails to elicit comments at shows, I just laugh with them and share the "mafia funeral barge" nickname.

It comes out so automatically, that it makes you wonder if they've actually put their commentary to the test.  I always think of that scene from the movie Goodfellas - yeesh!Chris Middlebrook1962 Custom Southampton--- On Wed 11/01, < Crestonave@xxxxxxx > wrote:
