Correct, and very observant. There were No 57,58,59 or 60 Imperials present
at this years Carlisle. This was also noted while we were eating our bbq at
the tent on Saturday night. Besides the Ghia limo on display, I had the
only 64 Imperial present this year.
Jack Lindholm from IML was the owner of one of the 1973 Imperials, it had
the Bendix ABS system installed in it and it was still functioning. There
were a decent amount of convertibles and there were few LeBarons. The first
place and second place cars this year were both convertibles. One was a 1967
and one was a 1968 but I don't recall already which was first.
What REALLY suprised the *&^# out of me was - - - there were MORE VIPERS at
Carlisle than there were Imperials. I stopped counting Vipers at
30.......need I say more :) For all the money it costs to own, run, and
maintain a Viper; well lets just say you could have one REALLY nice Imperial
! which overall I would rather have the Imp than the Viper anyway.
