I have been driving my 1961 Imperial in the UK for the last 6 years
and my daily driver is a '76 Eldorado. It's not as bad as you might think, even
though there are a lot of single lane country roads in my area. I also drive in
London quite frequently. It is no worse than driving a light truck or a large
van. After a short while you get used to the scale and believe me, people get
out of your way when they see you coming. Better still, you can see the big
smiles on their faces when they see what you are driving.
There is only one place that I avoid and that is spiral ramps in multi
story car parks.
A lot of them are just too tight to get around.
The biggest drawback to driving these old dinosaurs here is the shockingly
high cost of gasoline (currently over £6.00 a US gallon). I have solved this
problem by converting both cars to run on propane.
Best wishes,
Tony V
