I am 18 years old and I got my Imperial when I was 16. I had wanted it
since I first layed eyes on it when I was 6. I love classic cars, I
love anything thats classic. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong
era. My grandpa bought my Imperial new in 1974. He put 75,000 miles on
it and put it in a garage for 5 years until I was old enough to have
it. I didn't really have to do any restoring, just maintaining. The
thing I love about Imperials is they are unique. Not many people have
or have heard of an Imperial. They are a luxury car of the past, and I
still consider my baby more luxurious than a lot of cars today.
