RE: IML: Best Lookin' of 'Em All

I would be delighted to own a '56, but there is something about those radiused wheel-openings, those chrome head-light rings, that neat one-year-only shifting-lever, and that lovely gaudy-but-tasteful rear-bumper assembly. These cars represent the point at which the Imperial bravely stepped out in a style all its own, and never again looked very conventional. Most subsequent Imperials carried some cue reverting back to one or both of these two beautiful cars.

Last sentance say's it all!
