Liberties taken in restoration? Sounds more like
mutilation to me much like that 75' Imperial on Ebay that had the fake
exhaust pipes sticking out of the fenders. Those limousines are extremely
rare, to fit one with Chebby brakes and the incorrect drivetrain goes beyond
reasoning. Besides when did Suburbans come out with anything
other then drums on the back. When you have a car produced in only three digits,
with unique features such as the Ausco-Lambert disk brakes, they should be
preserved not "Restified". This is almost as bad as taking a Ghia Limo and
chopping the roof. I just hope that your friend put the original pieces away
somewhere so it can be changed back.
Best Regards

1954 Imperial Newport
Will be restored to original factory spec
mechanically.
