Congratulations on getting the 73 back, Jack! I dearly want to bring my Dad's 75 Dodge Royal Monaco Brougham home some day soon but finanaces won't allow that right now. That car has been out of the family for about 20 years now. It would be nice to get it back. Its one of the cars I learned to drive in. Its the one I remember most as a kid. I guess those are good reasons to want to bring it home. It doesn't look as nice as I remember but I can bring some of that back over time. http://www.nybclub.org/membercars/bradhogg/75RMB/index.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "jlindholm" <jlindholm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2003 6:39 AM Subject: IML: new arrivals- 73 Hi All, In just a few minutes, Amy and I are off to the Wilds of New Jersey (Linden) to pick up my new '73 from the Dependable Auto Shipper's terminal. As I've mentioned some time ago on the list, This is the car that my father bought new and has woven it's way in and out of my life for the past 30 years. It's lived it's last 14 years in Arizona. It sports a pretty nice repaint and a rebuilt engine. I have a few things to deal with: alignment A/C and the autotemp, foam padding in the front seats odds/ends, but is in very good shape. I feel like a kid before Christmas.. hah, just had to share with people who certainly understand. more to come ! Jack 81 Imperial (black 360 4bbl) and now 73 Imperial (white over blue)
