Amen Bill!!! This is how I think every time I do a little something to my 66' Lebaron. What a car! Look at all the time and effort put into its construction and the quality of the materials used. Also if you are reading this Mr. Benjamin I am also a member of the Packard club-I have often fantasized that Imperials are what Packard's would have been like had Packard made it through the 60's and 70's.

Oh yeah, and a Christmas wish! Sorry, meant to say, Mikey Sutton is the one who is the best! To me at least, he represents what this list is here for. Honest advise, expert knowledge, a sense of humor, and what I refer to as "A stand up guy" in every way. Dick Benjamin is no slouch either, nor many others who keep these fine, under-respected, under-valued, superior Motorcars from a bygone era. Imperials represent the finest the automotive world had to offer in it's day. A true luxury car, a prestige car, a car for those with discriminating taste (i.e.: The Kennedy's). No car built today, in my opinion, is a luxury car. They may be dressed up fancy Corolla's, or carry a Marque from when they were a luxury car, but they just don't build them the same way anymore, they cant...by law. As was a Imperial sales slogan, I believe: "The rich buy Cadillac, but the truly wealthy drive Imperial" I'm just in a good mood today everyone, so I hope you all go out and admire your cars, in whatever state of condition they are in, they are something we, the few who own them, can have to be thankful for, if only that, tomorrow.
