1929 Imperial



Dear Nigel
You are correct about the brakes , the car must have been an earlier one , I 
do know that chrysler in America did not believe that an Imperial of that 
year existed and came over to see it , sorry I am vague about it but it was 
before I knew Mr Barfield so the story is a bit second hand.
