  Today's great parade in New York City honored the care workers whose dedication and hours have eased us during these Covid-19 filled months.  Special recognition was given to a special lady, Nurse Sandra Lindsay, one of the first recipients of the Covid-19 Vaccine.  And did you see the car she was in?

I'm sure that only the last of these pictures is the parade car that was used today, but the others are very similar.  I think it's great that such an historical automobile can still help honor an American of note.  Well done, Nurse Sandra Lindsay, and also well done, Chrysler Corporation of sixty-six years ago!   David H  Laugh

A beauty. On one of the broadcasts, the news commentator referred to the Imperial as a '52. Fake news right before my eyes....lol.

It really is a 1952. It was later re-bodied but still registered as a '52...
