Re: IML: IML History (IOCI)

[Christopher H <imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was a member of the IOCI (Imperial Owners Club Int'l) and still have the decal on my car's rear window (along with my IML sticker...anyone still have one of those?). It was mostly the work of a guy in PA whose name I can't recall but I still have every copy of the newsletter. Maybe someday when I have a LOT of free time I will dig them out and scan a few for the website. 

The club folded as the fellow from PA got too old or maybe even when he passed away, I cannot recall offhand. I remember one letter from the original owners of a 1966 LeBaron who had just traded it in on a brand-new 1991 Imperial and were beaming with pride. Hmmm...
