My 58 Imperial



Mick, I also agree that you should NOT consider retreads unless they are only for static display and you plan on trailering your 58 (HA HA ) or you could just swap me for my old Valiant wagon that you can get tyres for! But really, even if you did have perfect condition Tyres to retread, they no longer have the skill to do it here in OZ, and you would be lucky to kep the tread on for a week! George.

Mick:

Good to hear that your car is progressing well. The tires are available through Coker, about $us166 each. I would not recommend retreading as your carcasses are old and that is what is going to fail in the end.

G'day Guys,

Had a broken computer for the last 6 months and now finally up and running.  So I'm back reading all the emails again. Just quickly Loren Irwin can you please email me as I have lost your address and need to send you the pictures of the Kangaroo and my Imperial.  I had to sneak up on the kangaroos to get the picture without them taking off which is not easy to do in a huge V8. 

On my restoration of my Imperial all have to do is seat covers and the hood lining and associated parts and should be back on the road in about a month(wife for some reason is laughing uncontrollably) It's been terrible not having the car on the road, but with all good things you have to wait.

A question I have is on tyres. Has anyone successfully re treading the tyre 14x950 White walled tyres Make US Royal?

I was thinking of doing this because they don't make these tyres anymore.

Glad to be back on line again as I've missed you guys and the advice you have given me

Thanks

Mick
