Subject: IML: Bill Ulman - Well, after years of saying I would, I did. See for yourself...
I have been a member of the OIC (Online Imperial Club) for many years now, well OK, 4 ½, but that is still a long time, but have never posted a picture of Doris Day, my 1966 Imperial Crown Convertible Coupe, until now.? Below is the direct link to my own page.? Thank you very much, Jeff Ingraham.
http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1966/billulman/index.htm .
Doris is the third Imperial I have owned, and driven daily over the past 12 years.? The first was a ¹63 Imperial Custom I purchased from the original owner.? That car had power windows, and the rarest of color combo is available in ¹63 and only on the Custom model.? That car was an Evergreen exterior with a blue/grey fabric/vinyl interior.? I foolishly sold it in ¹97 when I bought Zsa, Zsa, my bad attitude ¹60 Crown Convertible Coupe, which sent me to the poorhouse and often.? Swivel seats only keep the passion alive for a short time.
In 2000, when Zsa, Zsa, slapped me for the last time, much like the cop she slapped in L.A., I cried Uncle, and traded her back to Jeff Carter for the gem you will see in the pictures.? I named her Doris Day on the Spot.? I decided to grow my hair long and wear it in a 1966 Bubble doo like Doris day, or even Donna Reed? Get a very politically incorrect, but luxurious vintage fur coat, white gloves, and 5-inch heels and a very Barbara Stanwick ³I¹d just as soon kill you as look at you attitude².? Everything went as planned until I found that once I put on 5-inch heels, I could no longer Parallel park.? So now, I wear 3-inch heels and do OK at it.? A set of smart Charles Jordan pumps, pointy toed right foot tromping on the gas? and driving down I-5 at WOT (Wide Open Throttle) is still a thrill?and a sight to behold, trust me on that one.
In the summer of ¹01, and ¹02 I was Greg Nicholes, the Mayor of Seattle¹s personal parade car.? I got that gig through a partner I worked for at a law firm here in Seattle.? I have also been the lead car each year since ¹98, when I had Zsa, Zsa, in Seattle¹s Annual Gay Pride Parade.? Originally, told I would be driving Rosi O¹Donnell in ¹98, but ended up driving a nationally known, and extremely funny Drag Queen by the name of Mark ³Mom² Findley.? Mark always wears some outlandish outfit that is purported to match my car, but taste is an individual thing, and always remember:? Bad Taste Costs No More.? Actually, in many cases, it does cost more.? I digress.
Doris and I will be driving down the Washington, Oregon coast on Friday May 20th to join the Annual Rhody Days/Imperial Meet in Florence, OR.? It will be fun, driving the coast and listening to tunes from the 40¹s through the 70¹s emitting from my State-Of-The-Art 4-Watt AM Signal Seek Radio.
