Hi, Well I bought Tim Hulse's 1960 Imperial and it now lives in beautiful
San Diego. I have always wanted a 60 and this one is a great one to start
with. Tim and I had a lot of fun figuring out how to get the car on the
trailer since it was missing ramps. Thanks to a somewhat steep driveway and
Tim's car ramps we finally got it up on the trailer. It rode proudly from
Bakersfield to Yucaipa, CA where it waited until I got it registered. I went
back up to my sisters where it was stored and again it rode proudly down the
freeway to it's new, very much cooler, home in San Diego. Thankfully, where
I keep a lot of my cars, the alley drops off fairly abruptly and allowed me
to get the car off the trailer without too much trouble. I had to pump up
the brakes and drove it to the local auto parts store and got tune up stuff
for it. It drove great, but without power assist, the Imp was a little hard
to stop. Now I need to rebuild the brakes and booster. I found that Napa has
the wheel cylinders, but I would like to try and rebuild the ones in it to
save a little money, any ideas where to get these kits? I currently have an
81 Imperial and have owned a 1955. Anyway this great car has a new loving
home and should be on the road again soon. Bob
