RE: IML: Question of the Day

["Kristian Oyen" <kandkoyen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bought my first Imperial as a teen-ager, figured I had struck gold right
out of the gate, and never really wanted to drive anything else after that;
so here is what I would consider essential had I unlimited resources:
1955 Imperial Newport, Embassy Gray with blue and white leather (my first)
1956 Imperial 4-door hard-top
1957 Imperial LeBaron 6-window Sedan, black with gray broadcloth (Sold mine)
1960 Imperial LeBaron Sedan, black with stainless inserts
1961 Imperial LeBaron, black with stainless, (sold mine),
1963 Imperial Crown Southampton 4-door (I have this)
1964 Imperial Crown 4-door, white with deep red leather (sold mine)
1966 Imperial Crown 4-door, white with blue leather-and-cloth (I have this)
1967 IMPERIAL CROWN Coupe, silver with black roof-tiara and leather (I have
this)
1969 Imperial LeBaron 4-door, metallic-bronze with brown leather and 8-track

(I wore mine out)
1973 Imperial LeBaron 4-door with contrasting leather interior
1974 Imperial LeBaron 4-door with leather
1977 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham 4-door with leather (I have this)
1978 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham ST. Regis, dove gray with gray leather (I
sold mine)
1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue, gold with gold-tan leather (I just got this)
If both space and money were no problem I would probably toss in a nice 1962
Imperial Crown Southampton 4-door with leather.
All of these would have to be very nice, but safe to drive- no
museum-pieces/trailer-queens. I got hooked on DRIVING these- not just
looking at them.
Oh, also I kind of like the 1955-1956 Packard Caribbeans

"> ...a 1961 Desoto Adventurer convertible (red w/matching leather interior"

Now that would be a dream as the last DeSoto convertible was built in 1959
and the last Adeventirer in 1960.   Unique greille, though.

My own list would include seven Imperials -

1970 LeBaron 4-door hardtop
1968 Crown convertible
1958 LeBaron
1955 4-door sedan
1951 convertible
1941 Crown Special
1932 or 33 Custom Imperial

Plus a few others -
1968 Monaco 500 convertible
1966 Studebaker Daytona (turquoise with white roof & interior)
1962 Dart 440 Sportsweep hardtop with bucket seats
1958 Dodge Mayfair hardtop
1958 Packard Hawk
1956 Packard Patrician
1953 Dodge Mayfair  sedan (with Hy-Drive)
1941 Packard Clipper
1939 Graham Supercharger (aka Sharknose)
1934 Chrysler Airflow Six
1932 Graham Bluestreak 8

And for those days when gas is more than the wallet can support -
1984 Renault Fuego Turbo (black with tinted windows)
1969 Sunbeam Alpine GT
1966 Sunbeam Minx
1949-51 Morris Oxford (maroon)
1958-62 Renault 4CV

Would also need something bigger than a six-car garage with attached
bedroom.
