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....

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.
