Hey, Ken and List: My dear brother is on his way to California to visit kids and tells me he is going to look at the car! We too, had been watching the sale when it reached l5K. You have really gotta want something badly to pay that much, or you just won the lottery and have much to throw away. I love these cars, but wouldn't sell my collection to get one. It all boils down to how much you want it and what you are willing to pay, not anything to do with old car values or blue books or whatever. I always look at cars from the perspective of what I personally would give to own the car, not someone else's opinion. I am happyto say I have been very fortunate in finding most of the cars I have always wanted, at a price I have been willing to pay. You can too, just don't let your emotions cloud your judgement! Happy Holidays to all.....Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: "kenneth leighton" <kenleighton@xxxxxxx> To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 4:30 PM Subject: IML: 55 Imperial not sold on Ebay > > > Hi List, > The great 55 Imperial Coupe on Ebay did not sell.
