Re: IML: swivel seats

["Henry Hopkins" <hhrp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

when I show my 60 at Car Shows, I always leave one of the doors open and 
show the swivel seat turned outwards.  This after I disconnect the battery. 
NEver fails to get comments such as "What a good idea" or "wish we had 
swivels now" etc.  Great conversation starter.  Just one more thing that 
makes our 59, 60 and 61 Imperials and other Mopars so special in my opinion.
