Thanks for the kind comments guys. Geoff the Thunderbird is a really nice car. I agreed to the trade because my bad back made getting into and out of it difficult and I already have a 61 Corvette with the same problem.

Beautiful Imperial Bob!  Can we expect to see your little red Corvette at the next car show?  🤞

@pete-rovero Thanks Pete. The man who does these videos picks the cars he wants in them. As far as I know he only does shows at the McClain Lodge and the next show there will be on Labor Day. I plan to take the Corvette to that show but there's no guarantee that he will pick it for the video.

What a wonderful Imperial, Bob ! A timeless beauty and don't we all wish we could look so good as we approached and passed our 70th birthday.

@mikedetorrice I agree Mike. As to me, I passed my 83rd two months ago and while I don't look too good, My motor is still running.

Great to put a face to a name, Bob. Your presentation was quite informative. I love that Imperial. I totally approve of swapping out the T-Bird for this very unique and beautiful car.

@rich-sufficool Thanks Rich. I told my dentist, the guy who owned the Imperial and wanted to do the swap, that the Imperial was worth more than the T-Bird but there were probably 50 buyers for the T-Bird as compared to one for the Imperial.

@bob-jackman Well said. The T-Bird will always be "the one to have", but this Imperial is a rare beauty.
