Imperial Car Club Forum

it is fun this car is in great shape but i am building for my girlfriend and she doesn't want me to paint it.
so thats saving me alot of money she told me she did not want to drive something that is pretty then her ha ha ha . the motor was pulled and new heads cleaned up and it runs great rebuilt tranny and radiator so it will go do the road good .

Nothing makes an Imperial project car look more clapped out than old flat tires, rusty steel wheels and no skirts so after getting a great deal on these tires locally on the marketplace some dignity was regained on this diamond in the rough.

yup pure happiness

Hi all,
My first post on this forum. I've been on the IML since 1998/01/31, i've still the reply from Tony Lindsey at my first post !!!
At this time my car wasn't completed, my '57 convertible was first driven in 2001 ... Here are 2 pics taken in early 2019. i owned the car since november 1994. I live in south west France.

Phil, I love your 57... that's an amazing looking convertible you have there. I would love to have got a 57 convertible, but I had to settle for the southhampton - I'm not disappointed though, even the hardtop 57 looks amazing. Some very handsome cars!

Thanks ! A pic of the interior (the car was loaded: A/C, right mirror, HighwayHiFi, i retrofited the MirorMatic).
I kept the original color for upholstery (two tone green leather, made by Gary Goers) but the paint of the car is a little different, a pale green (original french color for '60s Citroen: "blanc Carrare" https://www.nuancierds.fr/AC%20144%20Bl ... arrare.htm) rather than "cloud white".

what a beautiful car phil

Stunning Phil!

Magnifique !

Thanks to all. Please note that it's a driven car, odometer reads 25 000 miles since 18 years.
