I believe the hood ornament, the passenger side rearview mirror, the true level torsion air suspension, the mirror matic, the flight sweep truck lid, and the auto high beams were some of the options for 1959 Imperials. Let me know if I'm wrong. My 59 did not come with the hood ornament or side rearview mirror, but I was able to pick them up from a parts car back in 1989 for $30.00. I'm Glad I bought them when I did.

Neal and list:
Neal is Aquatania your car...sweet! Saw pictures on the website, very nice. Now, my question for the list is this, in checking out the Ebay item in question, I read remarks written to the seller by someone (was it you Neal?) who said that this hood ornament was an optional hood ornament. Is this true?
After reading that I was compelled to dig for a flashlight and run out to the back forty to see if my car had one (ya, it does!), and if not, how much money I thought that I could reasonably part with to acquire one. I hadn't realized that there was such a thing as an optional hood ornament. I am also wondering if there are any more unusual options that are not commonly known about. I didn't see anything in my Imperial brochures on the hood ornament, so are there any other fun little known about optional equipment? I am very interested.
Thanks in advance.
Teresa
