That’s a real beauty, John. I love those Impperials from ‘57-‘63.

So do I! I have heard that GLM is going to do a '59, I hope for a '62 as well.

I posted mine a while back, as some of you may recall (August or September). Tom Dirnberger told me he urged GLM not to do the Imperial in the Dubonnet color, as it was not authentic per the color charts. Someone did restore one in this color however, and pretty as it is, there is only that one car.

It is. I have seen the 1:1 and it was a striking car & color. I am glad that GLM did one.
