Imperial Car Club Forum

Yeah, we’ll do. The first show that my son and I entered the car in was Chrysler Carlisle back in I believe 2015, when they had the Forward Look reunion at the old dealership building. Then the second show was at the Mopar Nationals near Columbus. Some of the guys went kinda nuts over the car there, thought it was for sale. Giving me their phone numbers if I want to sell it. I never had a car that guys actually wanted to buy because of something different. Kinda like a good looking girl and these guys giving their phone numbers to her...
Anyway, after the show, we took a drive through downtown Columbus and left there and went a back way to Mt Vernon, and they happen to have a show going on that day and closed the town for it. Weekend cruise ins at Massillon during the summer also. We’ll see how it goes this summer.

Oh, can’t forget the 65 convertible that I had for 32 years and sold it recently when I had sold the 61. I was 18 and out of high school when I got the car locally. Used it as a summertime daily driver for years in the 80s and 90s. Went to lots of shows & Carlisle for years.

you need any parts? I can probably get you a fender for the 61. Im in akron.

I had the same car; 1965 Imperial convert in red with red leather. Sold it about 10 years ago. Still sorry I did that-car was totally professionally restored and nice.

Actually, I have a blue fender that came with the car. And I found a clean lower rear fender section for it. But I’m not going to get into restoring the outer body as of now. It is liked being in unrestored condition as it is at shows and cruise ins. I’ll be at Stan Hywett show with it if all goes well with this quarantine stuff by then. Been there a couple of years with it and the 65 when I had that car.

Stan Hywett probably wont happen this year. I might try to get my 57 Dodge there.. my 60 imperial will be a couple years

Here is mine

Here is my Imperial, 1959 Crown Southampton

Looks really nice - did you just get it?

Actually last fall, had been sitting for 45 years. New tires, complete exhaust and a new fuel tank, pump, and carb for starters. Interior is at the upholstery shop, going in for paint this week.
