Hi Stan, if you want to know where to find out where to get old kits, or parts or just about anything check out the Hobby Heaven message board. Hobby Heaven has a link to their catalog on the message board page, lots of old kits there!
You may also want to check out The Modelhaus
They do resin kits of 57 and 58 Imperial convertibles and hardtops and the 62 Imperial convertible. They also have repair and replacement parts for all kinds of promos and old model kits, so if you find an old Imperial kit and it's missing a crucial part like a grille or bumper, you can most likely find it at Modelhaus.

Stan, As I said, I had many of them as a child, but I really can't remember what happened to all of them. I suspect my parents disposed of them while I was away at school, and anything that was left after that was undoubtedly gotten rid of when my parents moved from Chicago to San Diego. In recent years I have restarted my model collection, but now it consists of either cars I've owned, or my parents have owned. I can vividly remember my favorite '59 Imperial Hardtop which was tan with a black landau roof, and a black and tan interior. I loved that model so much that it's color scheme is now the inspiration for my new real '59 Imperial. I also remember a candy apple purple '61 Imperial limousine that I built. I don't know how good of a painter and kit builder I was back then, since I don't have any of the cars to judge them, but I do know I am very good now, judging from my Boeing 707 collection. As you can probably tell, I am stuck in an era when both ca rs and planes were coming out of their shells! Please let me know how to get one of your kits, as I would love to take one on again, and now that I have the real thing, I'd like a Mini Me to go along with it. Thanks, Bill '59 Crown
