December 2011

Here is what Mr. Desmarteau had to say about this fantastic restoration:

Here are a few words concerning this restoration : This Imperial convertible was made on December 9, 1957, Serial # LY1-07499, Paint : ZZZ Champagne Gold, Trim : 085 Lt. Beige Metallic Leather.

We started the restoration in June 2007, we are a small team : first, the owner (anonymous), then, a professional photographer, a mechanic (35 years of experience), an old body shop specialised in car restoration, and myself, responsable for this restoration. We hope, the car will be ready for the summer 2012.

Au plaisir,

Guy Desmarteau
