This gorgeous white '59 Imperial Crown Coupe had a full red leather interior, and sported a beautiful restoration inside and out. Note the 'toilet seat' on the trunk! |

The only Imperial in the car corral was this pretty decent '62 Crown 4 door hardtop. I think the asking price was around $5,500. |

Back on the showfield was an outstanding original '65 Crown 4 door hardtop. Macungie is well known for a large number of well-preserved original cars. |

Another Imperial from the Engel era was this magnificent '66 Crown Coupe. A beautiful exterior restoration was complimented by a flawless original interior. |

Only 577 Imperial Convertibles were built in 1967. Seeing this Aqua ragtop was quite a treat. As it turns out, the owner of this car knew the original owner of my '60 DeSoto! |

We spotted this ultra clean original '75 Imperial Coupe in the spectator parking area. A seldom-seen example of the last year of the true Imperial. |

Here's a very colorful example of a '56 Dodge Coronet. Dodge was well known for striking tri-tone color combinations in '55 and '56. Again, this is a pristine, unrestored original. |

A rare sight indeed, this '56 DeSoto Firedome 4 door Seville sparkled in yellow and black. I don't ever remember seeing another '56 4 door hardtop. |

Appearing to have undergone a total restoration, this '56 Firedome sedan turned out to be a 13,000 mile untouched original. It was oddly equipped with power brakes, and manual steering! It was undoubtedly one of the best originals in the show. |

This '56 DeSoto Fireflite Sedan sported factory air conditioning, wire wheels, and a breathtaking restoration. It's unusual to see a Fireflite in a solid color. |
