Merry Christmas everyone
I've decided I would like to get myself a Christmas gift. I've always
wanted a 1961 Imperial,so if anyone knows of one for sale in Wisconsin or
surrounding states. Please let me know. I would perfer a car in #3 or 4
condition as I like to restore the cars myself and not have other people do
the work. Also if there is one in Florida I would be interested as I plan
on moving to Florida in the next 6 months.
Thanks for your help
