Of course it's a scumbag dealer. They always try sticking it up your ***.

 

[BLIMP]

Geeze Mr.Crowley, your excitement appears to have fizzled out rather quickly...didn't even get a full summers worth of cruising in it.

 

[brougham brummel]

OoooH.He sold it already? B.B

 

[ImpJay]

OoooH.He sold it already? B.B

No I'm not a dealer. Just a person who has enough money to get what they want. I've purchased 6 imperials since joining this forum and have made some good friends. I sold 3 of them to members of this forum. I have decided I'm just not a C body guy. I like my b bodies better. I drove the car on several occasions. It's fun. But not for me. I have tioo many cars as it is. Putting some on consignment gives them a place for storage with out having to pay an outrageous storage bill. The car is still mine. If it sells so be it. If not in 6 months when it cools down I get it back Thanks for your opinion.
