Re: IML: ebay experience and second thoughts



If the front fender emblems that you need are the plastic ones over the head lights, they are available via George Laurie or Emblemagic. There may be more vendors listed in the OIC web site.

Fellow Imperialist Fred,

 

    I would hope you find yourself letting those second thoughts pass.....the associated costs and work of these cars are 'certainly not for the faint hearted' as I have seen mentioned here in the past, as even an apparently simple fix can turn into a never-ending quest.....when I bought my first vintage car, it was a driver of sorts and needed some work to be, politely, 'more safe' and I swore I was going to fix EVERYTHING on that car to ORIGINAL.......but, as my stewardship of the car progressed, I realized how unrealistic that is for a tradesman such as myself, 'limited means' and all, to achieve and slowly I came to accept the cars foibles' from being 50+ years old and then I came to appreciate the car and all its personality all that much more:  yes, the gas gauge doesn't work, but the mileage does.....the power windows rattle like heck sometimes, but they work.....the paint chips which used to loom so large to me, are now looked at as proud scars from a storied past.....I began to accept the fact these issues could be addressed in due time....in addition, the more car shows I attended, the less I came to like the "redo's"{NO OFFENSE TO THOSE BEAUTIES} as the perfection achieved that I saw, was a double edged sword, as NOW these people did not drive the cars--they looked at them, and that is not for me!!!.....Fred, I guess all I am saying is it IS hard owning one of these beauties and every time I swear I have had it, a few minutes, or sometimes a few hours go by and I come back and see her, so old and so shiny, I ask myself, how could I abandon her? For no matter the flaw, she does want to run........and the experience of owning these Rolling American Icons is a pleasure one has to live to know.....don't give in !!!!!

I am a little disappointed, but more in human nature than anything else. Would the tail lights have made my car worth more? Probably not so realistically I am about $80 better off.

I have been having second thoughts about owning a vintage car, especially an Imperial,  with the associated costs and work. This just reinforces those thoughts.
