Imperialist's:
As has been discussed here many times
in the past: our's is hobby not for the faint of heart or wallet.....in
the cyclical nature of things, it is a fair premise the
dollar and an 'old car market' correction due to lack of discretionary
funds is having an impact throughout this hobby industry, not just on
our Imperial's......the 'buy' side of our vehicles [most of our 'stuff'
really] has always been difficult to ascertain due to the
discrepancy in the nature of our [owner's] wont's and the buyer's wont's:
laissez-faire at its finest, really........it is also a fair statement for those
of us who have purchased these cars, that we have far exceeded
original budget estimates in 'making her pretty' again [though most onlooker's
seem to think they are gorgeous already], because the mechanical had
unexpectedly been so fun in 'restoring'.....LALOL.....and that is
AFTER we have accepted the fact a proper, professional paint/chrome job
is a home equity-line issue, then comes
a looooooong discussion with oneself as to that
investment's actual worth .......even finding the time/place to lessen
the money-end becomes, sometimes, a point of diminishing
return--notwithstanding the education received when one does undertake such
projects--......personally, it is worth it, no matter the level
an Imperial car is taken to or kept at, as the grass isn't greener for any
other model/brand in vintage car ownership, and THOSE poor
sucker's don't have this list to bail them out of
ANY jam..........
Forever Imperially Grateful,
Jack
