Re: IML: '82 Sinatra w/ Moonroof?

["L. Hodgson" <hogie@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for that Dick. I am a firm believer that the quality built into my 81 
Imperial is seriously lacking in the new Daimler/Chrylser vehicles. If they 
have to make issue out of it on their TV commercials then there is a 
problem. I could expand on this with examples but won't go there. The 
styling of the new real wheel drive cars does nothing for me. So if anyone 
wants to discount a FS or any other rwd Imperial lets see what the people 
are crowding around at the car shows. It won't be a four door Dodge charger. 
And I'd love to have an Aspen RT or a Volare Roadrunner!
