Currently daily driving a 72 Newport. I have owned many big cars from the big 3 over the years. I also have a 67 Imperial that I hope to be driving by next summer. Figured I’d join and contribute some pictures at least

Welcome, that certainly qualifies. Is that your garage?

Welcome......

The garage pics are from my work, I do most of my work on my cars there. I have a modest 2 bay attached garage at home, not quite as roomy as the shop.

I had to dig a bit to find some Imperial pics, took pics of pics. The pics are when we brought it home in 2001 when I was 15. I was going to buy a 66 300 back then until my parents spotted the Imp behind a Chrysler dealership a couple towns over. The car was originally from California until it’s owner moved to Canada in 76, the car was in storage from late 77 until I bought it. I assumed it was parked because of a tired engine, by the records that came with it, it has 188000 miles, the engine was siezed when I got it. The car has been in storage in a shed since the fall of 01. It was originally silver with the black vinyl top, it is in great shape underneath, very solid car, the interior is pretty good, some of the wood has come unglued but nothing time can’t help. In hindsight I’m glad I never got it together back when because I probably would have thrashed the heck out of it if I did. In the under shot you can see my house in the background, it was my grandparents house back then, never thought of it being mine today, I had a chuckle when I saw that.

Here’s the Imperial as it sits now. Life and 10 or so other old cars kept me away. My kids are older now and I’m not getting any younger so it’s time is coming soon.
