Thanks for the welcome Neal!
Although my '61 has air conditioning, it is not currently working.  Carlisle in July always seems to be so hot.  Consequently, I plan on taking my '89 Chrysler TC by Maseratti.  I wish the all-Chryslers show could get moved to October.  Anyway, I'll look for you and your '66.  What color is your Crown?  My TC is Manilla Cream; I bought it from a guy in Maryland.
My goal is to get the Imperial in shape to take to Carlisle next year.  When I had my '68 Imperial, I took it up there several times.  I was always disappointed that there were so few Imperials.  I'm glad more have been showing up recently.  I'll be staying over because it is such a long haul from here.  Look forward to meeting you.  If you've had any rechroming done, is there anyone in the area that you would recommend?  There is no one good in Richmond.  I'm especially looking for someone who is good with pot metal.
