Teddy:
So, Elijah was right about the engine color....He is on the ball isn't
he? That is a sweet car that you have there Teddy....wish mine was looking
that good. I am sending the seats out to the upholsterer late this summer
(he is booked until then), and am order the headliner and carpet soon. The
car itself is going to spend the winter in a friends body shop getting back to
it's original splendor, or at least at the present time...that is the
plan.
I am thinking that I may want to convert the car to disc brakes, have you
done this to yours, or it is completely original? It would be nice is
there is anyone who knows if there is someone who makes a conversion kit out
there, but I haven't found one myself. If not, I will be looking for that
perfect donor car.
Thanks for the link, makes my day to see that car!

Hi
Chad,
The engine color
should be black in 1959, not turquoise.

Another member said that the hubcaps were from a 1962 Imp, and that
same member also mentioned that there was something funny about the engine
that was in the car (whoever you are who said this initially, please email
me again with the details...I mistakenly deleted your email). However,
the car is truly lovely, and WOW what a beautiful color. I hope this
car ends up in the Imperial Club.

I think whoever is selling the car does
not know a great deal about Imperials, and probably means by limited
production that there were not very many LeBarons produced compared to
other Imperials of that year. I have no idea where the New Yorker came
from. It is a beautiful car right down to the double tail light rings, and
silver crest roof. My only complaint is the hub caps. Where did those come
from?
