57s - all time favorite Imperial

[Mark and Theresa Elliott <deadfishe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hugh,

I think you hit on a great idea.  I created a survey form on the site 
(http://www.imperialclub.com/OIC-Specific/oic-survey.htm) to answer this 
very question.

If you have ideas for other surveys let me know and I will add them over time.

For my guess I would say that 62 and 67 are going to be the most popular 
years (this is based on the fact that those 2 years tied for having the 
most cars registered in the Imperial Registry).
