Hi all - The cruise in at the Toluca Lake Bob's Big Boy last night was really packed - could be the 80 degree evening weather - a great night for outdoor dining (in February!) Anyway, I saw one Imperial - Randy Harris '62 4 door, newly repainted white and Randy said he just had the front end rebuilt after "several hundred thousand miles"! He said the parts came from a Fall Fling vendor ($200 - Pentastar?) and the work was done in a Burbank garage. Randy has had the car a long time, buying it directly from Jack Palance and making at least one cross country trip in it. Look for the "Big Ride" license plate! I had my red Alfa there, but that shouldn't be mentioned...
