I too, think it is
just as important and maybe even more important to ?save and show? an Imperial
in whatever condition, than to insist upon a #1 or #2 condition one.
Mine is a #3 now and I am very proud of it. It was a #4 for many years
before we could fix it up a bit, but I was always proud of it then too.
Donn & Clay?just keep showing your cars where ever you can.
Imperials in whatever condition are so refreshing to see in any show or parade
when viewed along with the usual run of GM and Ford products, rods and muscle
cars. No wonder at all why the public is fascinated with the
Imperial!

Subject: RE: IML: The exclusive
Imperial
I used to show my '60 LeBaron in all it's
decrepit glory. I had just as much pride showing it as if it had been
fully restored. All eyes were always on me when entering the show.
Likely because people couldn't believe someone might actually drive such a
mess. Local club members knew I had started with a car that had moss
growing on it, an engine full of water, and a baked interior. People are
so curious about the '60 that it does not seem to matter much. Lots
of congrats to anyone who goes to the effort to keep these cars on the
road. As rare as they are condition does not matter to most who just
enjoy seeing these cars.

I know what you
mean, Clay. The local antique car club is having a car show this weekend.
Mine is the only Imperial that will be there. There is a '56 Imperial and a
'38 C10 (nonrunning) in the club but neither of them get out much.
My
Custom with it's faded and flaking paint, slightly dented fin, cracked dash
and original interior will be the only representative of our marquee.
Interestingly my car gets a lot of looks (and smiles). Obviously the styling
is just right to really get peoples attention, so that makes it
fun.

Greeting everyone
I had the privilege of
entering my 60 Imperial in a car show this weekend in
Hugo
Minnesota.
No I didn't win anything.
The other entries were way too
nice, and my 60 Custom needs too many
things.
