Now here is a story to bring a lump to the throat
and a tear to the eye.. It takes you right into the factory. Maybe
someone was having a bad day, and just got reamed by his supervisor or was about
to get fired. Maybe he - excuse the lack of recognition of female workers
- was hung-over or in the middle of a divorce. On the other hand, maybe he
was just clowning around. He knew it was a hard to see spot and so was
just having a laugh ahead of time at Frank's expense. Getting one over on
the quality inspector, just having a laugh. All the other folks with these
cars should check the same spot to see if the same guy left you a
message!

Speaking of assembly line workers...
If I crawl into the trunk of my 83 Imperial and look up and back. There
is an unpainted section of the body work were someone on the line wrote, in
Glacier Blue Metallic the color of my car, F*** YOU A******.
Nice.
Best regards,
Frank
When it came to quality, no mater what the car line, it all came
down to the skill, care, and desire to do the best job, by the
production line worker. With the union contracts, strikes, assembly line
sabotage, sub-standard work, the hung over Mondays etc. it's no wonder there
were gaps in quality. Remember the old saying, "You don't want a Friday, or
Monday car" There was some real merit to that saying. Not too many years
ago, I took the doors apart on my 64 Dodge custom 880, every door had a
paper coffee cup in it. I don't think a robot would do that now.Ya'll have a
nice day, Dave.

Hi List,
Which were the years that the Imperials were not ( Quality wise)
manufactured as well as other years. Was it 1957 to 1960?
Thanks
Luis
