Imperial Thoughts

["Quint Villanueva" <Qlv@xxxxxxxxx>]

As long as we're sharing nice experiences, here's mine.
Last year while filling up the tank of my 1953 Custom Imperial, I noticed a
man at the next pump who was filling up his tank giving my Imperial the once
over....he could not resist asking me about the car...his first question
was, " Is that the new Lexus?"  I suppose that was sort of a compliment.
