Re: IML: 56 Imperial went for run.

Mike,

 The car on the year by year was my first 2-door. I lost that car last year and have been kicking my self in the rear everyday. I missed it so bad, I had to keep buying and selling to get to another 56 2-dr. I went through a 60-2dr,55 sedan just to get back to the best of the best. I have done allot to the one I am currently working on how ever and love ever minute of it. The ride last night was just cool. Nothing broke, no fires, and no cops. I have a hole under the drivers side floor pan and of course that's where the hole is in the exhaust pipe. I will be tending to that tonight or this weekend. This one last rolled down the road in 1978 so it was just as nervous as I was at first. If I send some pics of this one, who should I send them to? I have seen many pics of your 56 sedan on the site. Love it!

 

Thanks for the replies,

Tim Holes

Ohhh yahhhh!!!!!

 

Got to drive the car legally down the road tonight. It was its first run down the hiway. I was easy on her since the speedo doesnt work. I drove for about 15 minutes and everything is shifting and there were no fires or water leaks so that a plus. Lets keep the finger crossed for this weekend. I am going to drive it around and see what happens.
