Me too!
Seriously, it will be nice to have an "acceptable"
Imperial, one that can be introduced to polite company without
embarrassment. I have the kind of personality, and so does Mrs. Blueberry,
if only by association, to brazen it out but I imagine there will be a sigh of
relief all around in my local Mopar club when the car looks like a collector car
should.
I have been giving entirely too much thought to getting
the car painted in camouflage. I work on a military base and seeing all
the huge trucks in the scheme reminded me that an Imperial would be positively
stealthy by comparison plus, hopefully, give the army personnel a good laugh
into the bargain.
Sometimes off the wall ideas turn out OK and sometimes
not. "Ballet blue" would be nice too, all things considered, including its
current so called paint. Once I get it back, I am going to take it to the
Mexican border, either Laredo, or, more likely, Eagle Pass. If I go to the
latter, I should invite Dimitrios from Austin. It is a road I think he
would die for. Once you leave IH 35, there is something like a 130 mile
stretch of almost perfect, empty road. It is newly constructed, stretches
almost to infinity and has almost no traffic. There is one little town
half way along it. There seem to be no cops other than border
patrol. You can see no buildings of any kind from the road. It is
all scrub ranch land, of no great value to anyone except hunters. I had to
drive it on my old job. I used to think how wonderful it would be to drive
it in 'my' 58 Imperial. I truly look forward to finding out.
