Re: IML: California black license plates (Texas)

[santiam oregon <santiamoregon@xxxxxxxxx>]

It must be six degrees of separation.  I was at the DMV in Oregon today trying

to get them to change my recent title submission from Chrysler to Imperial, although

when I filled out the form initially, I wrote Imperial.   I am guessing some box-checker

at the main office decided to correct a mistake.  After a 10 minute phonecall, they told me to come back and they'd do some research (imagine that).  I used the same Ford-Lincoln

analogy.

 

Does anyone know off the top of their head what years Imperial was a separate make?

 

I am thinking 1955-1970

Here the local AAA office can do everything, except give you the driving test, that you would normally have done at the DMV....and wait in line 3 hours for! It took me 10 minutes at the AAA office! I did have to explain to the lady that Imperial was NOT a Chrysler (for Insurance purposes) and used the example that even though Lincoln is part of FORD you don't call a Continental a FORD CONTINENTAL.....and she was fine with that, especially when she checking in the book and actually was able to fine a 'IMPERIAL' listing for the catagories that were OK to use on the Insurance card (and the Registration card as well).
