1961 Imperial



Hi Mike
No I haven't found one yet but I just bought a 1955 Chrysler C300 so I've
put off my quest for one until I sell my 64 fury conv. which I hope won't be
too long as I have it advertised.  Could you tell me a little more about the
car, what model, options and shape of body engine and interior and of course
what you are asking
Maybe you could email me some pics
Thanks
Don
