RE: IML: My back pages

[Drake Rickertsen <ct_drakeula@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

 

     In my opinion the "Old Guard" are protectors of the Imperial Mailing List format and why this site is up and running. This site is designed to help Imperialists with their restorations, transports, and to keep us up to date on scams, dealers to stay away from (plus those that are recommended) Even the rarity of such cars and appx. values. I found this site by going into the Google search engines to find out a little bit more about my 1960 Lebaron Sedan and "Poof" this site came up. This site has given me insight, direction and motivation to go forward with my full frame up restoration and I would like to thank all those who have provided me and the club with valuable information towards making this possible.

      I see alot of silly IML posts that really shouldn't have been posted on this site and insted should have been e-mailed to a club member insted. This site is all about helping people with their questions and while just about every question has been answered several times over at one time or another it's nice to know that people like Hugh and Therese will respond to these Imperial inquiries with alot of thoughtfullness in mind. Keep up the good work "Old Guard"

 

Best Regards,

 

Ct. Drakeula
