Self-Introduction: I've always prefered Imperials over Lincolns and
Cadillacs.  When I was growing up,and the '61s came out, I thought they were
a bit "extreme," but now that cars are so bland and generic, I love my 61.
Its options include power windows, power seat, air conditioning, dual
outside mirrors, and the Flitesweep rear deck (a favorite feature of mine).
I bought the car about three years ago in a small town about an hour away
from where I live.  It had been stored outside and was covered with dead
leaves.  However, I was able to drive it home.
I was very pleased to see these Imperials featured in the recent Collectible
Automobile magazine.
Whenever I drive my Imperial, I always get lots of positive comments.
people usually have to ask what it is, however.  Mechanically, it is pretty
sound and I'm slowly restoring it cosmetically. 
I owned a 1968 Crown 4-door hardtop (gold with black vinyl top and black
leather interior) for a number of years but sold it at auction (not enough
garage space). 
It's great to find other folks who also love Imperials.  The web site will
prove to be a great resource, I'm sure.  I hope there will be some meets in
the east that I can attend.  I'll be at the A.A.C.A. Richmond region show on
June 11 and plan to be at Carlyle, Pa. for the all Chryslers in July.
