Welcome, welcome, Tom. You own one of my favorite IMperials. The '55 is so
regal. To me, the design echoes the full classics of the '30's with the
full wheel cut-outs, its height, stance, beautiful grille. The original
colors sound good. Enjoy, enjoy, even moreso since you know the history of
the car and the connection with your family.
