81-83 Imperial; Stickers on certain parts

["kenneth leighton" <kenleighton@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Yes these Pentstar decals were there to tell workers that these parts tested 
the best when produced.  The object was to have the Imperial the finest car 
that Chrysler built.  You will find these on most mechanical items.  They 
should even be on the rear end.  I can attest to the fact that these items 
were the best as I drove an 81 for over 250,000 miles with no major problems 
with any of the mechanical parts.  The only thing that was replaced was the 
air conditioning compressor.  Every other component worked great until the 
day I sold the car to a friend and he is still driving it and has had to do 
nothing other then normal maintenance.
