Re: IML: 56 Imperial question

I don't blame you about such a drive in the heat...if you are ever in town we all hang out at Bob's Big Boy Friday nights in Toluca lake.....anyone email me if you will be around town and I will cruise on over to met you...

Ok....all gentlemen reading....clips....all these years since owning 1956 Imperial Southamptons I have never found clips.....the clips that hold in the power window button in...

front and back.....also clips for the outside chrome/stainless steel....every time someone works on anything they break the clips...

Next...I had the cars wiring redone...wiring harness...they lost{the dumb asses} the little plastic lense for the light over the wonderbar radio.....anyone have a spare????

I got the car painted in and out...picked it up and they snapped the door handle in half...

I found one but can the pot medal be fixed???? I have several broken the same way....

When I came home I noticed all the buttons for the radio were missing....

I rushed back as they were closing the doors....no one knew anything of coarse....but I refused to leave till I found my buttons....Who traced them down....me.....

As the idiots were looking in the shop I climbed inside the trash dumpster as I saw my papers with my paint on them....

Were they in there????? You bet they were....all Stuck to the paper at the very bottom of the trash...needless to say I was madder than a wet hornet....if I hadn't done that the dumpster would be emptied first thing in the morning and they would be gone forever...

Taking my car anywhere has been nightmares...you have to be one step ahead of all of them....

Next....for the sedan{southampton} the front passenger door always opens by itself....

I click that little round thing in the door and it shuts for the time being but pops open driving...

I am scared a passenger will fly out of the door as I peel rubber around a curve....

any solutions to fix that???? hee hee hee

Anne,

www.imperialclub.com has to be one of the most comprehensive web sites without an institutional or commercial sponsor. Nearly all Imperial related information in existence can be found there or linked to from there!

I'm in Bakersfield, but with the high temps this week and predicted to rise even higher this weekend, I won't be abusing the midnight cruiser going over the grapevine.

Anne,

You are talking about the LA parade phaeton, which is actually a 1952 that was updated by the factory in 1955. http://www.imperialclub.com/Rare/Phaetons/1950s/article.htm It is an open car, but can't be considered a convertible since it doesn't have a top at all. It is one of three, originally residing in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. I believe the Chicago car made it's way to a museum in Las Vegas.
