I'm back - and - Purple cars

["Greg and Russell" <65luxuryliner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome (back) to the IML Paul.  As I said in one of my emails to you, your
Mauve Metallic/Black Plum '65 Crown coupe must certainly be a rare color
combination!  In my humble opinion, I think the best course of action
regarding its restoration would be to return it to as close to original as
possible.  You may never know how many coupes or four door hardtops were
made in the color combination of your car, but rest assured, there probably
aren't many left!  Your car may be more rare than mine (one of 633 made and
who knows how many are left?) so if it were mine, I would try and return it
to what it looked like the day it rolled off the line.

Just my two cents worth...
