I believe the hood ornament, the passenger side rearview
mirror, the true level torsion air suspension, the mirror matic, the flight
sweep truck lid, and the auto high beams were some of the options for 1959
Imperials. Let me know if I'm wrong. My 59 did not come with the hood ornament
or side rearview mirror, but I was able to pick them up from a parts car back in
1989 for $30.00. I'm Glad I bought them when I did.

Neal and list:
Neal is Aquatania your car...sweet! Saw pictures on the website,
very nice. Now, my question for the list is this, in checking out the
Ebay item in question, I read remarks written to the seller by someone (was it
you Neal?) who said that this hood ornament was an optional hood
ornament. Is this true?
After reading that I was compelled to dig for a flashlight and run
out to the back forty to see if my car had one (ya, it does!), and
if not, how much money I thought that I could reasonably part
with to acquire one. I hadn't realized that there was such a
thing as an optional hood ornament. I am also wondering if
there are any more unusual options that are not commonly known about. I
didn't see anything in my Imperial brochures on the hood ornament, so are
there any other fun little known about optional equipment? I am
very interested.
Thanks in advance.
