greetings...
Little bit of a story of this car...
My dad bought, brand new, a '57 Imperial as his first car.
Robin egg blue, black top, red floor
Stopped running when I was maybe 5. Sat ever since. (still does)
~5 years ago, or ~35 years later, he bought another '57 that he decided to have restored to the same color combo as his original. Catch was, he wanted nothing taken off from his original car.
Finding parts wasn't easy but it is getting close to complete now.
(it's my understading, without being direct, there is some sentimental value on his original car that he didn't want it laying in pieces and tossed aside)
