Imperial Roadster

Show car, trailer queen? Well the IR passed us twice on the 2012 HRPT.
I talked to Paaf(?) at the end of day show and he at the time had 1800 miles on it.

It is great to see something like that on the road.

Great to know he's driving it. Sometimes I'm crazy about and other times I just think it's OK. Am I fickle?

Dan,
The metalwork is flawless. The interior is right up there with the top of the line NEW cars but has the period look.
The orange wheels are the only thing I can't get around yet. I would like to see it with chrome at least a photoshop of chrome.

Since you know you are fickle and admit it.. There is hope... Hang in there buddy... Nooo problem!

[mrocketscience]

The workmanship and detail on it is great. I personally think it would look a lot better if it was just a bit longer. It always makes me think of a Shriner car.

The most impressive thing about that car to me is that it was built in a 2 car garage by a few talented guys helping a friend see it through, and it stands up well against anything from the big time custom car builders.

I'm right there with you. I think its an awesome display of fabrication, execution etc. But it just seems awkward to me.

It's supposed to look awkward, it's a cartoon car.

1800 miles in about a year is not very many miles, but I suppose it is for a car like that.

[JOES66FURY]

is it wrong to hate everything about it?

[squirrel]

No. It's a matter of taste....some of us have it, some of us don't.

i saw a pic of it early in the power tour and it had a brown top, then when i saw it at the final stop the top was missing and was just the frame. Seeing the car in the magazine feature I wasnt a real fan of it, but seeing it in person I was diggin it and they drove it all over Eagle Canyon Raceway during the Optima Challenge Event last saturday

btw heres a pic I took of it at PT

[Deaf Bob]

Thanks for the pic... Was just fixing to beg for one...
I like it... Colors leave alot to be desired
But it is sweet.. Somebody's dream car... Just not mine...
I'd drive it if I liked verts. Much rather be on a bike...

SAWZALL it

They did great work, but the proportions are all of whack for me. Reminds me of those guys who cut two doors out of a four door car and shorten the whole car. Looks clownish.
