Dan,
You want to make a book from snaps on our site? I say, "GO FOR IT!"
I once made a presentation board about Imperials. I tried to include a
basic history of the make, and then pictures of each of the major phases of
the name plate' life. I did this for my own benefit, and to show folks at
shows that my car was not a 'freak," but part of a long Mopar heritage. As
often happens, someone liked it enough, so I gave it to him, and never re
did it. (My 'basic history' exists on my own site, but I have seen better
versions around.) I have thought about just such a book as you mention,
with representative pictures showing the cars' evolution. If you can do a
better job than me, which will not be hard, then I for one would be
delighted to get one. It could be made available through the web site's
"Fun Stuff" section. You might even be able to interest a publisher in such
a book. You never know.
I have an idea of creating an "Evolution of the Imperial" page for the web
site. I'd take a thumb nail from each year and put them onto one page, with
maybe some very basic information about the cars that year. The thumb nail
would lead a the bigger image. It does not sound like much, but it will be
a whole heap of work and will be looked at by a very critical audience. The
good news is I won't have to be creating any new images.
Just be confident about your idea and go for it. Ain't nuthin' to it.
