1959 Imperial Custom Coupe (new tires for the baby)

[Pete Kaczmarski]

Yesterday, I purchased four tires from Lucas (9.50-14 bias) for the Imperial. I also took these digital photos and it looks great. Next is to get the '70 Fury III Pursuit out and will also take some digital photos to post. The hardest thing to do is decide what car to drive.

That's got to be tough on the system:thinker::thinker:

I have two Pontiacs, '69 Gran Prix with almost 9,000 oroginal miles and a '04 GTO that I bought new.

I've owned a few in my time. Mostly 66-67 GTO and Sprints with a couple of Bonnes and Chieftains thrown in... I went through a phase....:3gears:

You, sir, have a wretched excess of riches.
You need to sell me the red one.....

Great cars. Are these swivel seats cable operated as on the lesser models from that period or did they have electric motors with Imperials ?

Which red one...the '78 NYB or the '79 New Yorker......

This is the first year for swivel seats, but the seat swivels outward on a track. They are not power or attached by a cable. I beleive this is the first year for the problematic cruise control also, that I have. The service manual does not even mention it until 1964 i beleive.

Thanks, had something in mind about different kinds of swivel seats, seems to depend on model year. The automatic ones that moved while opening the door seemed to have come out in 60.

Oh the 78 of course!!!
I forgot about the 79. Can you throw another pic of it up?
