Re: IML: 61 imp convertible on Calendar

["Henry Hopkins" <hhrp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, it is mine, Henry Hopkins, Richmond, Ca.  What calendar?  Pleeeeeeeze tell me.  That picture was taken over two years ago at a car show in Half Moon Bay called Classics by the Sea on the grounds of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.  That is, if it's the pic I am thinking of.  I don't believe I've had another taken of that car for a calendar.  Would love to get my hands on one of the calendars.  What a wonderful, pleasant surprise.  I have been waiting and wondering if the pic would ever be used.  The color is Capri Blue Poly, a correct color offered for '61.  Originally the car was maroon.

 

The front license plate frame says Peace Corps, Fiji 1  1968-69.  Our group was the first group of Peace Corps Volunteers in Fiji.  I served as a teacher for two years.  It was a wonderful experience.  It's rare that anyone notices the frame, only happened once before at a Car Show.

 

Thanks for your post.  Hope to hear more details about the calendar and possibly where I can obtain one.

 

Henry Hopkins,   61/60

Subject: IML: 61 imp convertible

My wife picked up a calendar featuring classic cars at a local shop and for November it features a 1961 Imp Convertible, blue, that is absolutely gorgeous. It is a Cal Car Lic. #WCT-656. There is a license plate frame that says Peace Corp,Fiji -68-69.

 

Does it belong to anyone on the list?
