Re: IML: Imperial RV

RE the RV's with Imperial front end.
I submit that as I always have said - as far as I can recall; "that beauty 
is fleeting."   That being said, I was watching the teardrop RV's with 
horrible insomnia and then channel surfed and missed the Imperial/Mercedes 
RV! Maybe I will use a Christmas gift card for an 'Art Car' book.  I once 
threatened to cover my 53 nicknamed "Baby Doll" with about 100 Baby Dolls 
and maybe an inflated leg or 2 coming out from under the back trunk.  Karin 
advised against it and so I had to focus on being wacko in other venues. 
Yes, listening to my spouse on occasion pays dividends - I think....
There is a PS....Costco had a great car book with big 1-2 pages color shots 
"The Great Book of Automobiles" and Barnes n Nobles had a good selection of 
car books in their bargain books and yes there are Imperials in these here 
books!  I would urge you to flip through the pages rather quickly though. 
Why?  "Because Beauty is Fleeting!" :) Must I repeat myself?
