Re: IML: '56 imperial convertibles

["Dr David George Briant" <drdgb@xxxxxxx>]

Dear Chris,

The gorgeous green KTK personal Imperial convertible is actually a 1955 
Imperial with 130-inch WB but with certain unique features

The Paul C. Smith (gift from KTK) car is a 126-inch WB modified 1956 New 
Yorker with front end, rear end, side trim added or modified to produce an 
Imperial.

I discuss the quite incredible and o so beautiful 1955 car, owned by Chip 
Loree, in the August 2002 issue of WPC NEWS.

Best wishes,

David
