Chevy Imperial ?

[Philippe Courant <accf-club@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And imagine in ... France !!
"what is this car ? (looking at the script) "sure it's a (Imperial) 
Cadillac, can't be a Corvette,  see the tailfins, can't be a Mustang, 
too long". French people know only cad', corvette or mustang..
When i'm in a good mood i try to explain that it's an Imperial, then a 
"top of the line" Chrysler (yes they know Chrysler 'cause Chrysler 
bought Simca), then (because they don't understand) a Chrysler Imperial.
But when i'm tired of these questions (or if i'm in a bad mood..), "it's 
an Imperial, IMPERIAL" and i leave them with an imperial attitude ! Sure 
that they think "he's a boor, why he doesn't have a Dauphine or a 
Peugeot 504"

Life is too short to drive ordinary french cars... (except a V8 Facel 
Vega with Chrysler engine perhaps)
