I rarely get to see other Imperials, so it was great to do
a side-by-side with another '67. I'm glad you stopped by.
But man, if I'd known what was in store for you later that
day, I'd have offered to give you a ride up to Cape Cod
myself! Serious breakdowns are bad enough in themselves,
let alone when you're hundreds of miles from home.

Oh man, I hope not. :-(

This might be a good time to remind everybody that Mike
is the world's only known source of reproduction cornering
lenses for '67 Imperials. I bought one set from the first
production run and liked them so much, I bought another one
to squirrel away for the future. They're quite gorgeous!
I think you may still be able to get in on the second (final?)
run. His classified ad appears here (search for "mechimike"):

Anyway, best of luck with the repairs, Mike. I hope it
turns out be less serious than it seems.
