Sadie - 1974 Imperial LeBaron

Collin, That is a perfect shot of one I've been wanting to take... do you have a higher pixel count image of it? I'd be happier stealing yours than trying to get a decent one of my own (I'm not much of a photographer)...

Yeah I’ll try to get a clearer photo after it stops raining here! Here’s a couple more on the roll.

Topped off the Transmission Fluid and Oil. Exercised her up and down the Highway all week. Idles a bit rough at start but once she's warmed up and gets driven, the ride is as smooth as silk. We’re driving her back to her new home tomorrow morning! Will send photos of the trip!

Gawd that's sexy...

Your pictures are so much better than the ones I take... I'm going to have to do a photo shoot day with the cars now...
 
She made it! Ran perfect the entire way from Central IL to TN. Extremely proud of her and the next thing to do after letting her cool off will be to give her a good bath because she took out a lot of bugs on the highway.

The only thing you need to do is strip off the trunk lid pinstripe and buff the paint where it was. Only 78 NYBs got that kind of pinstripe treatment. Looks out of place on what looks like a time capsule.
 
I noticed that after researching a bit more. I think I will keep it on there for now. My ability with classic cars is still pretty new. I've always researched classic cars since I was little but only now actually have the chance at owning a real one. I'd be much too afraid of damaging the paint by doing it myself. Thank you for the information on the pinstripes though!

"Pride of Ownership" really shows of the presentation of this car. Good luck Colin, hope you many years with this Baby!
 
I took a basic photography class.....recently.

I can still take better pictures with my "smart" phone than I can with my Nikon D7500.
