RE: IML: 1955 Imperial Jack or What??



My guess is that this is an aftermarket jack.  These became popular in about that time, because the factory supplied jacks were somewhat difficult to operate.  The best of these had a 3 legged stand, and were really much better than the simple vertical “stick” type, which would often let the car move and fall.

Subject: IML: 1955 Imperial Jack or What??

 

I recently bought sight unseen what was listed as a 1955 Imperial jack.  This jack certainly is old but does not look anything like the jack shown in my user manual.  This one has a removable handle on the top that turns a large verticle screw enclosed in a cylindrical column with a pertruding bumper hook.  Help....you experts on old car items....what do I have here, was it an option for the standard jack or what.  It appears to be a nice item of the period and works well.
