Re: IML: OUR HERO and FOUNDER HAS RETURNED to the IML!!

I love the convertible and would love to have that car!

I recently purchased a 1961 Imperial Lebaron. It has all 4 Lebaron wheel 
covers, at the time I did not know how hard they were to get now I am 
afraid to loose one. Nevertheless this car sat for 20 to 25 years in a 
building. I recently had the tank and radiator cleaned, replaced all the 
metal and rubber brake lines along with new master and wheel cylinders with 
silicone fluid. I put new metal fuel lines as well as new fuel pump, 
rebuilt the carb, and replaced all the hoses and belts. I have changed the 
oil and filter I put in 10-30 Valvoline with a qt of marvel mystery oil. 
Last night I drained the transmission and converter and am going to put in 
Dextron 3. Does anyone know if I should put some type of additive in the 
transmission, this car sat for years.
