RE: IML: Car Names and texas meet

["David Norris" <dnorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

my 71 4dr hard top is named the goldbrick.  first because it is a gold color. and second because as you know it is heavy and last because it it the gold standard i compare all other cars to.  thats just my personal imperial point of view.  the rest of my fleet are not worthy of names but i encouraged my daughter to name the 86 benz she is driving.  it has a little personality to it.  i wish i could make it to the texas meet.  i am just 4 hours away but i positively must do some work under a dodge truck or it will never get done.  i been wanting to meet yall for a long time so maybe next time.  i hope yall have an imperial time.  david norris.

1959 Imperial Crown 4-door Southampton: "Aquitania" (as large as the ocean liner and painted Aqua Mist)

1965 Pontiac Bonneville 4-door Vista: "Bonnie Prince Charlie" (only masculine car of these, with its throaty exhaust/engine, it's clearly not a gal!)

1966 Imperial Crown 4-door hardtop: "Miss Dorothy" (my grandmother's name, who had a '64 Imperial on which I learned to drive)

1972 Buick Riviera: "Bianca d'Azur" (translated to white & sky blue from French - car is white with a blue roof)

1983 Chrysler Cordoba: "Christine Corinthia" (after the Stephen King book/movie - car often seems to resolve minor problems by itself overnight; and Corinthian leather interior, for which the Cordoba is famous)

1997 Buick Riviera: "Le Nouveau Riv" (the new Riviera, duh!)
