Re: IML: Imperial story



No Drive-Ins in NY?!?!?!  Where must you be?  We have three active around Albany, and we LOVE to show up with the 61 convertible.  LAst time, there was a convention of Mini's, sponsored by their local dealer.  With more than 90 Mini's, we were nearly outweighed!

LOL, jc

Cool story!  Sounds like you found some future
Imerialist lovers too.  Another note - Drive thru?? 
Now that is a cool thing to do & a cool place to bring
your car.  Too bad we don't have any more here in NY.

Just a light human interest story,

This morning the local pee wee football team and
cheerleader squad was having a car wash fund raiser
about a mile from my home.  We're heading to the
local drive in tonite so I fgured I'd take the 60
Crown back to have it washed.  Besides, $5 to hand
wash an Imperial...that works out to about 1/10 of a
cent per pound!!   Well I pulled in to the car wash
area and there were about 15 nine and ten year olds
washing to pick up trucks.  When they sawthe
Imperial, they literally threw down the hoses and
sponges and migrated towards the car.  One little
guy poked his head through the window and asked if
he could wash the car.
When I pulled the car into the washing area, there
were 10 kids helping out, none of which could reach
more than a quarter of the way across the hood.  On
kid came up to me and asked  if it was my car and I
said it was.  He said, ' Cool car, you must be
rich'.  Another kid asked me how old it was and told
him 1960.  He said, 'That's ancient, my dad was born
in 1965'.   Another kid wanted to know if the car
came 'with the tail lights like that?' 
Then the team photographer posed all 15 or 20 kids
around the car with their  CAR WASH sign and took a
picture.  I don't know who was more excited about
the car, the kids or the parents that were there
helping out.
Anyway, neat experience and the Imp is clean and
ready for The Ballad of Ricky Bobby tonite at the
drive in.
