Hi and good afternoon,  please
include me on your email lists for any Imperial Event in California.  I
live 35 miles east of Los Angeles in San Dimas, just a couple of miles
from the famous Pomona Swap Meet.  I am new to Imperials, I have a
62 Crown 4 door Southampton that needs some work.  Body and powertrain
is 
in great shape.  I am committed
with activities in Late April this year, but later this year or early next
year I do want to get involved.  My 13 year old nephew Christopher
 "Kip"  is a natural born mechanic, who I have shared
Imperial tech information with,  Thank you all for sharing you knowledge
on the fabulous
and distinctive cars.  

My nephew plans to own and drive the
Imperial in 2062 when she has her 100th birthday.

Subject	Re: IML: Imperial Club

Okay, but what about the regional clubs for Imperial.
 We have two in 
CA, North and South, and we gather yearly for a statewide meet, this 
year in Bakersfield, 4/24 to 4/27.  Usually we have around 40 plus
cars 
and have a great time together.  I do wonder if all of the CA IMLers
show up with their cars at club events and at the Statewide Meet.  Seems
to me there might be a disconnect between participating on the computer
and participating in events with our cars.  Aren't there more than
40 
Imperial owners in California who might show off their cars? Or are 
Imperials really that rare????  And what about other states and club
gatherings?  Where are the IMperials???

My two cents
