I remember that car so well. I was 18 when older friend of mine took me from NJ to Staten Island so I could legally drink beer. I was more impressed with the ride than that dive he took me too.

Another totally awesome Imperial model. I have it and love it. To be honest, I think I got all of them, every color open & closed.

Keko, that is one beautiful Imperial. The ‘57-59 Imperials are my favorites. My Great Aunt Mary had a ‘57 4-door in blue with a white too. I remember when I first saw it being fascinated by the curved side glass and the fake spare wheel cover in the deck lid. To a 12 year old it looked like a space ship. The detail and accurate shape of your ‘59 convertible makes it look autheic enough to be the real thing.

A most beautiful car.
