'60 Motor Mounts

[Jeff Carrothers <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Rob,

Tom Hannaford at antique auto parts cellar can rebuild these "floating
power" motor mounts.  His number is 781-335-1579.  He is rebuilding some 65
Imperial motor mounts for a friend of mine for $145.00/pair.  I think that
the motor mounts may be the same for 1959-1965 Imperial, but I'm not
certain.  He does very nice work and I have had great luck with everything
that he has done for me.  You may be able to call Bob Hoffmeister, Lowell
Howe, or Murray Park and buy some used ones... send them to Tom Hannaford
and then install them on your car. 


Good Luck,

Jeff Carrothers,
56,59,60,62,64 Imperials

Hi all --

Well, despite asking many times about the condition of my mounts to every
mechanic, they gave up the ghost recently. Luckily, I got away with only the
fan clutch mildly denting the radiator; could've been much worse.

So, anyone know where a good set of mounts can be had, or do I need to pull
them and have them rebuilt (which'll be a bear; I can't drive the car to a
garage, and she won't fit in my garage with the hood up!)?

In other news, I'm fully restoring a '50 DeSoto Suburban. Huge car, but very
simple. Really makes me appreciate how sophisticated the Imperial is.
Unfortunately, now I want to take the Imperial down to the frame too, and do
a full restoration on her. And then the '66 Newport. And then I'm done
(until I buy another car)
