A sculpture of the death of a '59 Imperial

["Hugh & Therese" <hugtrees@xxxxxxxx>]

Odd, indeed.  And just what is it, one wonders, about 59s and recorded
departures?  I have a rather gruesome set of pictures a 59 Le Baron,
complete with twin taillight rings, being consumed by a crusher, in France
of all places.

Maybe its a collective subconscious manifestation that the 1959 models were
the beginning of the end for Imperials in general, the zenith of 1958 having
been reached and passed.
