Re: IML: 59 Imperial convertible on eBay

Sorry , Neal, but in the car business, we call this type of 'convertible' a 
chopper, as the top has been cut off.  When I get more garage space to store 
my stash of cars inside, I will chop the top on an 81 Imperial and a 75 to 
77 Cordoba, just for the summer.  Should be lots of fun.  I think you are 
really looking at a 59, as it has the 413 wedge engine in it.  Ron 
Stephenson, certifiable chrysler nut!!!
