Hi,
Well, I am 28, own an Imperial since last April, and live
in France. I always wanted to have an US 50's car, because
they represent what we never had in Europe after WWII :
incredible style, colors, engines etc ... As it has been
said, today's cars are very similar, black and gray
(welcome to the plastic era !).
I just try to imagine the buyer in 1957 who bought the
Imperial I own now, new, in south of France. Somehow, he
knew that something else than a Cadillac was available for
sale ... With an Imperial, you drive something different.
Imperialement vôtre,
Frédéric Mardon
