55 for sale read description

Hey, Hey , Hey now,

 

"This sort of restoration would be acceptable in a Plymouth"? !!!

 

Having owned 12 Plymouths ( 3 1955s!) that sounds like an insult.... I think. Imperials are great cars and I really enjoyed the

'57 I owned  but let us be civil here. A little more respect if you please!!

 

Like I said in my intro I've owned all four Chrysler products and had fun with them all. Now that the last of my four kids are through

college, I hope to get back in this hobby.

 

Anyway, this is a great list. 'nough said.

Mat;

 That 55' sedan and that 59' limo have been up for sale for at least six months a piece on that website. The 59' Ghia limo has been up on E-bay at least twice before that. The limousine is a neat car, definitely worth fixing up, but it's a lot of bread for a chicken coop special, even a Ghia. It just needs too much work for that amount of money.

 The price that they are asking for that 55' sedan is a joke, judging by the pictures it looks like it had a quick and dirty restoration done on it. Considering what they want for the car one would think that they could supply more pictures of it inside and out. I don't know what you 55' owners think but navy blue metallic just looks wrong on the dashboard. It looks like someone painted it with a spray bomb. The door panels I wouldn't know about, but the front seat looks like a vinyl bench out of a truck. This sort of restoration would be acceptable in a Plymouth, tolerable in a Windsor, but an Imperial? No wonder that no one's bought it, especially for $18,000.

Best Regards

P.S You have to have a very good Chebby sedan to even come close to $18,000, and thats for a 57'!
