I too, think it is just as important and maybe even more important to
'save
and show' an Imperial in whatever condition, than to insist upon a #1 or
#2
condition one. Mine is a #3 now and I am very proud of it. It was a #4
for
many years before we could fix it up a bit, but I was always proud of it
then too. Donn & Clay…just keep showing your cars where ever you can.
Imperials in whatever condition are so refreshing to see in any show or
parade when viewed along with the usual run of GM and Ford products, rods
and muscle cars. No wonder at all why the public is fascinated with the
Imperial!

Subject: RE: IML: The exclusive Imperial
I used to show my '60 LeBaron in all it's decrepit glory. I had just as
much pride showing it as if it had been fully restored. All eyes were
always on me when entering the show. Likely because people couldn't
believe
someone might actually drive such a mess. Local club members knew I had
started with a car that had moss growing on it, an engine full of water,
and
a baked interior. People are so curious about the '60 that it does not
seem
to matter much. Lots of congrats to anyone who goes to the effort to keep
these cars on the road. As rare as they are condition does not matter to
most who just enjoy seeing these cars.

I know what you mean, Clay. The local antique car club is having a car
show
this weekend. Mine is the only Imperial that will be there. There is a '56
Imperial and a '38 C10 (nonrunning) in the club but neither of them get
out
much.
My Custom with it's faded and flaking paint, slightly dented fin, cracked
dash and original interior will be the only representative of our marquee.
Interestingly my car gets a lot of looks (and smiles). Obviously the
styling
is just right to really get peoples attention, so that makes it fun.

Greeting everyone
I had the privilege of entering my 60 Imperial in a car show this weekend
in
Hugo Minnesota.
No I didn't win anything.
The other entries were way too nice, and my 60 Custom needs too many
things.
