Hello ChristopherI had never thought about the number of the headlights of the car until I read your message. I didn't know why there were two kinds of 57 Imperial with the single light and with the dual light.
Is it because there was a rule every state in America? This hotel is in Shizuoka Prefecture. If you use the Superexpress, you can go from Tokyo within 2 hours. Yasushi Shiroi '58 Imperial Custom "Pointer" BXN01303@xxxxxxxxxxx
Fun commercial! It is a 1957 with the dual headlights (they also came with single headlights because not all states in the US had approved the new dual-lamp system). This must have been quite an usual car in Japan at the time (even as American cars go). Yasushi-san, what hotel is this? I am in Tokyo right now, but without my Imperial!

This is a famous Japanese hotel. Is the car which appears here 59 type?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj4osMtZjmU&NR My present condition .Sixteen years have passed since I owned '58 Imperial. We are still maintaining this car. We are repairing the brake system now. A brake pad sticks because a brake drum warps. It is difficult for us to get a new drum. It became difficult that the parts of the car were imported without spending a cost from America. We don't have a big lathe as much as to shave drums. We think that a brake will be adjusted by shaving brake shoe.Yasushi Shiroi '58 Imperial Custom "Pointer" BXN01303@xxxxxxxxxxx ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com -----------------This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
