RE: IML: almost moparless car show

["bill parker" <hemirr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This reminds me of my decision to find and buy a '65.  A buddy and I take a 
"Civil War" trip every summer, visiting a battlefield area and spending a 
few days studying it.  We were staying the night in Hagerstown in the late 
'90's, preparing to visit Antietam, and I spotted a parking lot car show 
near the hotel.  He has zero interest in cars, so I strolled through by 
myself after supper and found only a couple of Mopars...one was a '64,'5, or 
'6 Imperial.  I'm sorry that I can't remember which for sure.  I recall it 
being a little rough around the edges, missing some trim, and having some 
primer, but I just kept walking around and around it.  I thought about how 
the '65 was my favorite Imperial, I like the grill best of any along with my 
preferred rear deck lid treatment (64-65).  I realized I could just find a 
daily driver one, clean it up, and enjoy it whenever I liked...it was 
liberating!  So I did it.
