Imperials in Modesto!
"I"
street in Modesto was closed off on Saturday, May 6, 2000 and
51 Imperials lined up for the show part of the 17th Annual
Imperial Owners California Statewide Meet & Show. It
was a great spectacle, enjoyed by club members, other car fans
and the general populace of Modesto. Some owners
traveled quite far for the show - Dietmar Frensemeyer from
Germany, Chris Hawkins from Atlanta and Mike Clayberg
from DC. Norm & Louise Hall are members of the SCIO
and make the trek out to the California meets nearly every
year from Lambertville, MI.
Great to see such enthusiasm and it was great to meet Dietmar,
Mike & Chris for the first time!
Dietmar has posted the first set of pictures on his web site, http://www.movit.de/htm/impmod.htm. A panoramic view of the meet is on this site, taken by this author, Bob Schmitt
