Re: IML: Henry's Convertible



I finally had an opportunity to read the Hemmings edition it was featured in.  An extraordinary and exemplary car and a pretty good article, too.  It's always nice to read an unvarnished opinion of our Imperials.  The writer had mainly good things to say.  He longed for a more cushioned ride, an aspect of the Imperial we take pride in being at the opposite end of the spectrum.  He also states that it will cost more to fix up these cars than you will ever make from selling them.  Personally, I am pretty far from the intersection of cost and benefit when it comes to these cars.  However, I dare say there is a significant number of old car hobbyists who hold onto these cars for the same brief duration that the owner of a brand new car does.  How much it will be worth if money and time is invested into it is part of their purchasing equation.  Financially, I passed the point of no return, if you'll excuse the pun, so long ago that I have been over the edge of the cliff like the cartoon coyote for longer than you should really be able to suspend disbelief and the laws of gravity.  It seems there really is something to this blind faith stuff after all.  It allows you to perceive rewards where few others can.  Also, after you've driven a car with a 392 Hemi, nothing else compares or even come close.

Hi to the group. 
I was writing down a car show on my "Forward Look" calendar, then turned over to Sept. and there is Henry Hopkins 1960 Imperial convertible. That car has been getting a lot of ink lately and it should.  Way to go Henry.
