57 (or 58) Crown Imperial on ebay

["ernie stepney" <estepney@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not to be picky but the paint sucks,(picture of the Crown Imperial
emblem) the dash pad looks like the foam is disintegrating under it and
there more things not original under the hood than you can count. Those
look like 59 15" hub caps. Neat car but needs much finessing to be at
all correct.

I notice that the trunk lid has the same "eagle" than the front hood 
(except Ghia medallion) and no "imperial" script. Original ?
Note also the two "beauty panels " beside the back up lights. They are 
different.
Wheelcovers: '58 Lebaron or '59 ?
Under the hood an alternator and a non original A/C comprerssor. 
Recovery tank also and something in front of the radiator (electric fan 
?). Valve covers are from '57 year.
Note also the small light in the lower of the front door panel (which 
has also a specific insert panel behind the handle)
What a car !
