'58 Imperials In Australia

["Hugh, 58 Imperial" <imperial58@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow!  I think I would kill for a USA article from 1958 about the threat 
posed by Japanese cars to American made vehicles.  Talk about prescient.  If 
whoever donated the Imperial piece still has the magazine and could share 
the article with me, I'd sure appreciate it.

One difference I note between the export version and the domestic is the 
Imperial script at the front of the hood instead of the stylized Eagle.  Not 
necessarily better or worse, just different, though, perhaps from habit, I 
prefer the birdie.
