Subject: IML: '56 Night Time Winter Cruising in New England
Fellow Imperialists,
With the apex of winter upon us here in New England and our =
regionally infamous Mud Season so due in between, true driving weather =
for Imperial owner's of the Northeast is a longing lust of hit and run =
opportunities until after Memorial Day comes in earnest. Those such as =
myself who are able to put the car down under roof cover for the winter =
in anticipation of a smoother re-awakening come spring are aroused to =
ride [as we all are actually] by these few days where glimpses of warmer =
climes to come are fed by these days which are crisp, clear and =
sunny--and only cold; with few puddles or only finger-deep frozen =
remnants of storms now long passed, with most salt washed away for the =
time being, and our cars, our steel and pious human offerings which =
start so methodically properly by their owner's knowing and caressing =
touch, I do believe, ache for such a road ride as well. =20
I am fortunate and have covered storage [unheated], and am very =

prior to her final draping for the winter sleep. A single day of each =
winter month I dedicate to gently starting each of my MoPar's, bringing =
them to full operating temperature, as well as engaging the tranny and =
rolling them within the confines of their long stalls. And those days =
are 'painful', as starting and not going anywhere is humbling. But =
there are days when all common sense is tossed and I feel the need to =
treat the car as it would have been treated upon her assembly in '56 and =
then sold to a family who would use it as the daily driver it was born =
to be, and that means used in winter.....and though I take precautions =
and utmost care, I feel guilty as all heck taking her out in any =

her upon completion of the ride--, but I do go and what a great time, =
for after all, it is just a car, lololol !
And this overwhelming urge usually occurs at night when I am =
finished with whatever project I could dream up to get me out there in =
the first place, and I notice how quiet it is in the neighborhood and =
how crispy and dry it is out. My '56 starts without a battery trickle =
charger and after sitting for months at a time if I so let her. Last =
night was one of those starry, full moon nights and Turq was baying to =
roam. So after warming her up and moving the other cars around, I =

I actually know what your talking about....... I would have succumbed to this temptation also but my registration has expired so I only started the car, backed her out of the garage and then put her back to sleep. At least I got the oil flowing and the battery charging again. Maybe our paths will cross someday........

soak your brittle rubber in vinegar for 24 hours and
report back.

Hi All,
I printed out the valve cover decals from the site with the paper Kenyon suggested and they came out wonderfully. Coated with clear heat paint, the engine compartment finally looks as I remember it when I bought it over 20 years ago. It has been bad weather hear, but the next nice day I'll take some pics and share them.

I searched Google today with "1959 Imperial Lebaron" and the seventh hit down said "Jay Leno's Garage 1959 Imperial LeBaron". So, I thought, WOW, Jay has a car like mine. I was shocked when my car came up. I had forgotten I tried to send pictures to his site back in 2006. Check it out.

Jack,
I had a 196o with no brakes and the only good news was
the engine, steering, and transmission functioned. I
lived on (man made) Treasure Island in the middle of
San Francisco Bay, a converted Navy base that only has
people on the western half.
http://imperialclub.com/Yr/1960/Kenyon/Page05.htm
I got the same thrill driving the car around after 1am
with only downshifting and the last clink on the
parking brake to slow down.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
