Hi Charles, I live in San Diego also and would like
to come by and see the car. You say it does not have an engine in it, do you
have the engine, just not in the car? Bob

Subject: IML: Having to Get Rid of an
Imperial
Thanks to a neighbor, I am
forced to get rid of my 1957 Southampton. He complained about my car to the
city, its in my carport under a tarp. I was told yesterday by a city
representative, He has a right not to have to look at my car, so I was told by
the city I had to put up an ornamental metal gate, that can't be open to the
street, (has to be closed in, so he can't see my car). The gate they want
costs over $4000 to build and install, and I don't have that kind of money for
something that will stay up only a year. Right now I don't have the money for
an attorney, and don't trust them anyway. The real bitch is, if I had the
engine in it, there would be no problem, on how it
looks. It doesn't matter that he doesn't have
grass in his yard, the dirt is fine with the city. Even though everybody else
in the block has grass, ....sorry I'm very mad right
now!! I have a 1957 Chrysler Imperial Southampton,
no drivetrain in it, the body is from Las Vegas and has very little surface
rust. Most of the chrome is in good condition and the paint could be polished
up. It needs the interior redone. All the parts are there and I do have extra
parts for items, that need repair or replacement. I need to get rid of this
car within 2 weeks so, I'm having to give it away. I'm really mad at the
city about that. If someone is really interested let me know, otherwise, I'll
have to scrap it. It's a nice car but I can't keep it at my house any more,
thanks to my neighbor. Thanks for any help, Charles in
Calif.
