Hi Dennis , My car is an '83, white with grey cloth upholstrey. I have an ad
that was in the National Geographic Magazine about Leee Iacocca and Frank
Sinatra conspiring to develop the fine points on the development 80's
Imperial to be America's finest luxury car.
I do need a AM/FM/Cassette radio for may '83. Let me know if you have
one . I would be glad to fax you that ad.
