IML: 53 Imperial on Craigslist

["Currell Pattie" <currellpattie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I talked to the guy that owns the 53 Imperial (basically a parts car) in 
California. There is some possibility that the car once was owned by Gen 
McArthur, but this is merely what was suggested by the previous owner. The 
car was in Berkeley, and  McArthur owned a house there at one time. The 
Serial # tags are removed.

I recall, in the Norfork, Va area, that McArthur was driven around in what 
was, if memory serves, a '50 (or close) Chrysler limousine, so maybe he was 
partial to Chrysler products. If anyone has any info, I surely would like to 
hear it.

Also, a question re the brakes on my 53 Imperial. The brakes start to lock 
up after a few minutes of running, even if the car is stationary. (At first, 
I thought it had something to do with driving the car around, and applying 
the brakes). An additional problem is that the brake lights remain on after 
the car is parked, and everything turned off. Not good for the battery 
unless you disconnect a cable. A local shop is investigating, and of course 
they suspect the power booster, but don't know exactly what is happening. 
Any ideas?
