Re: IML: 56 Imperial values?

When you face the seller and they boast about the "Hemi". Answer by saying this is the engine that weighs more than 100 pounds heavier than an 413. Also reply that NAPA can not get an re-build engine kit for this engine.

If the car was produced before may of 1956 it had the two speed Automatic. After May the automatic was the three speed and many folks did an "retro fit". Even if it has the newer transmission. talk it down anyway. ( It is possible to have the 2 speed transmission shift face plate but have the three speed transmission. )

From across the street (max ), you should not hear the exhaust note from an "running engine".

I have no 1956 Imperial, but I sure would like one.

Subject: IML: 56 Imperial values?

Are 1956 Imperials in demand? I am driving two hours to look at one that
runs and will pull itself onto trailer. Freeze plugs leaks
and cannot run long. Supposedly all original and they do not know model,
etc. I would like to know some values before I make offer and bring home.
