Bob, both you and the car are spectacular and best yet you are both unrestored examples.

Congratulations on a terrific job done with this clip Bob.  Your casual, friendly manner and wealth of information made it a joy to watch.  Oh...and of course the car is just gorgeous; such an elegant yet sporty presence in white with the gold accents.  I just LOVE it!

Jack, I guess you know that wasn't really Bob! He hired a handsome fellow, a much younger guy to play his part! He coached him on what to say and it worked out pretty well!

@perrone1 Well if that's the case Tony, Bob had better check his garage because I have a feeling his Imperial may be missing.......

Not to worry. The guy on camera may be a young hunk but Bob is one tough hombre. He'll bounce any galoot out on his ear if he catches him messin' with one of his cars - scale or otherwise!

Thank you guys for the nice thoughts. Rob who does these videos is retired and does this with his partner Nathan but Nathan who is still working can't do as much travelling. While Rob was here I took him to four collections which he did and plans to come back in August with Nathan to do more videos and I'm hoping that a video of my T-Bird Sports Roadster may be done. Hopefully between now and August I can find a young guy as a stand in. Oh, and the barking on the video was our pup Barkley who is a 80 pound yellow lab/golden retriever mix. We should have named him shut up.

@bob-jackman Well he's a tad noisy/excitable, but I guess he's being true to his name at least.

Absolutely STUNNING car.  One of my favorite cars of all time.  And, Bob, you are a true gentleman and credit to the old car and model collecting hobbies.

Thank you Tony AND Bob; the presentation of your Imperial was handled nicely & respectfully.    Too often, videos such as this are "rush jobs"  filled with inaccuracies.   This was a treat to watch; I enjoyed it very much.

Thanks again for the kind words. Chris, your words about inaccuracies on many videos is also a pet peeve of mine. The unique thing about the guy doing this video is that he is a knowledgeable car guy.
