You took the words right out of my mouth Hugh
on the Imperial Eagle. I wonder what ever happened to that
car?. I think the author of this article was quite impressed
with the car.

The article was on the cover of the 1958
Australian magazine linked from Kenyon's first reply.

Wow, I bet it cost a small fortune to import a car half way round the
world!! I am sure glad you could do it though! I know my 66 and
my 60 Imperials get so many looks they could cause an accident here, you
must get twice even that amount of attention down under. Thanks for
the reply in any case. By the way, where did you see an article from
58 about the threat of imports? I would sure like to see it....

I think I would kill for a USA article from 1958 about the threat
posed by Japanese cars to American made vehicles. Talk about
prescient. If
whoever donated the Imperial piece still has the
magazine and could share
the article with me, I'd sure appreciate
it.
One difference I note between the export version and the
domestic is the
Imperial script at the front of the hood instead of
the stylized Eagle. Not
necessarily better or worse, just different,
though, perhaps from habit, I
prefer the
birdie.
