Re: IML:1950 Limo on Ebay - Military

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

That tells us that there were 414 Imperial "Limos". Technically half are limos and half are sedans due to the presence or absence of a divider window. These are the eight cylinder cars that I mentioned. The one here on Ebay is actually a six cylinder Windsor Limo, not an Imperial. I am thinking that there were more of those than the Imperial. It does say that it is a nine passenger car, but I also believe that this only means that the jump seat formed a bench that could seat three more passengers, rather than the traditional two. We may still need to consult that book to find out the correct production number for this car.
