I think the owner has passed and his son isn't interested. Aw, man - breakin' my heart! Someone save it before they make more Green Hornet movies! OK if I post this on my car club's FB page? I know some folks there that might want to rescue it. Edited June 10, 2021 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Junkman Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Hey, do as you wish. I don't know the son and only knew the dad from occasional neighborhood talk and preparing his taxes several years ago at a AARP Tax Program site.

espo Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Would be nice if someone could save the Imperial before someone makes a Rat Rod out of it or worse a Destruction Derby Car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 When I was in Demo Derby at Wall Stadium in NJ years ago the rules specified. “No station wagons, no Chrysler Imperials” I was behind this one today: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read that they also replaced Mercedes badges with laser or water jet cut eagles head badges to try and disguise that these are Mercedes products from people that would automatically assume that the USPS was spending S-Class money on basic work vans when the saw the 3 pointed star emblem.........and not that a German manufacturer was building vehicles for the United States Post Office🙄 USPS uses them here too, can you say" Postal rate increase" ???

They start at $32k, so they’re not super expensive, though having to rebadge them to keep people from losing their minds over it being “a Mercedes” is stupid. Unless these people don’t think the mail carriers deserve heat, a/c, and then to not to have to worry about their 30 year old solar ovens……..errrr…..delivery vehicles catching fire on their routes due to aging wiring until the new purpose built vehicles can be delivered.

Venom Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Saw a whole bunch of stuff today, so I thought I’d start off with our local ice cream trucks which made their first appearance about three years ago. They’re pretty creative and interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Here’s the rest of what I saw today... kind of went on a quest looking for stuff... Someone’s daily driver... An Austin Healey Sprite I got so excited about the Barracuda that I almost didn’t notice the Mustang across the street. A little disappointing to find it wasn’t the real deal, but still cool to look at nonetheless. Edited June 14, 2021 by Venom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Was in Jasper yesterday visiting a client, and parked near this beauty. I have loved these for a long, long time. It's not my first choice in colour, but I wouldn't turn it down. Too bad someone parked that McLaren 720S in the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
