Re: IML: mistaking NYBs

yes that's blasphemy!

but im not putting down any american made vehicles. but to some who don't know better an IMPERIAL in many ways are better than a cadillac.

1. they were built with care, and used the finest materials available to the auto industry. so that the buyer would get his money's worth and then some.

2. chrysler has always been thinking " out side of the box" compared to others that copy designes. or " cooky cutters".

3. imperials are for the people that want to be different , and not a "wanabe". much like some other auto's that are only show and no go.

4. the imperials have always used the most powerful engines in the auto industry. by this statement, I would like to point out that even back in the 50's and 60's chrysler engines were beatin the pants off others at the races. and chrysler used the same engines in the imperials such as the HEMI and the 413, even - Richard Petty - " king of nascar" won many races with these chrysler engines.

can anyone name a race that a cady engine actually won a race ?

IM not just trying to point out that imperials are faster but that imperials used the very best that chrysler had.

besides the fact that the cady has been played out so much that they are just boring.

I think we live in a country that allows a difference of opinion , and thats fine with me , but what does bugg me is when someone down plays something they know nothing about, AS an imperialist we few we proud few that own or wished owning an imperial, should help educate others about one of the finest automobiles in automotive history.

And just one more to add to the list, imperials had used inventions back in the 50's that all other manufactures use today. correct me if im wrong but I think chrysler was the first to use an auto pilot " cruse controll" , in there auto's. and that must have felt like a slap in the face of GM and ford, because thay had nothing that could come close to the technology ,

I could go on and on but I will end here.

Some people think a Cadillac is just as good as a Chrysler New Yorker Brougham!

Standard Catalog of Chrysler 1914- 2000 is good.

It's for all Mopars and Imps.

Includes, factory price, production numbers, options, vin decoder, engine and chassis info.

Used pricing and pics all though most are black and white.

I like Chryslers and Imperials { Dodge,Plymouth, Desoto are ok}

The book is grate for any mopar lover ............

Subject: IML: Imperial Book Recommendations

Hi friends,

Today someone called and asked that I recommend a few "must have" Imperial books for a fellow enthusiast. Tonight as I had time I pulled a few books from my shelves and discovered I have only 3 or 4 books on Imperials, none of which I'm excited about recommending.  I have so many books on other cars, yet it seems our beloved Imperials have been overlooked by most publishers. Do any of you know of books that are "must haves" for Imperial enthusiasts?

Thanks in advance for your help,

David
