In response to Canu's post on the Imperial Museum, ...
I moved to Las Vegas in July and left my beloved Imperial behind in Albuq.
Partly able to assuage my grief by visiting the Imperial car museum x2. they
do have more cars in storage so do ask what else they have when you visit
the museum. Yes, tickets are free but at times it appears that there is a
cost. the best thing to do is go to the web site and you can reserve free
tickets. My understanding-right or wrong-is that there is a certain number
of free tickets released in a day, so making reservations to get free
tickets is worthwhile. Hours are 9:30-9:30 daily. www.AutocollectionS.com
see number in Canu's post, also toll free 800-634-6441 (hotel).anyway it is
worthwile to see and apparently there is another fabulous collection in town
that is not yet open to the public, and making inquiry is on my to-do list.
should you come to Las Vegas, let us know, maybe we can gather the local
Imperialists and give you a some old fashioned hospitality (and raise my
spirits-my car still is in albuq). . also, thank you, those who have
posted reports to other neat cars to see-I think most Imperialists do value
other cars as well (almost as well). I am grateful for the times some of
you direct me to other nice car sites on the web and when you mention other
worthwhile museums such as the Peterson in LA, I look forward to going
sometime. I think that was Kenyon(?). Happy Imperialing
regards
