What a great story! There were cigarette butts in my '59 when we bought it, but I'm not keeping them (sorry Earl--the original owner). Joey, what color is your car? My 4-door Crown is Persian Pink with a white roof. What kind of music do you play (my hubbie's band plays 60's rock and blues)? Laurie Carter Ilwaco, WA USA '59 Crown (mine!!)

I've owned my Imperial for almost 8 years now. It is a very slow process for me to restore my '59 because I have a wife, new baby on the way, play in an active band, and work full-time. I got this Imperial from a neighbor of my Moms. He acquired it from his mother when she passed away, she was the original owner and drove it from the day she bought it till she passed. When I purchased the car there was a cigarette butt in the ash tray that belonged to her, so in her memory I left it in. I had to have the engine rebuilt afew years back and I have done afew other minor things here or there. But nothing super special. My hope is to have it fully restored and drive it till my time is up too. ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
