'Your papers, please' must never be heard in America
When Neal Herman was a teenager in Ventura, Calif., he learned to drive in his grandmother Dorothy Grunewald's 1964 Imperial. Driving that big Imperial on the California freeways is a memory forever etched in his mind.
Neal Herman has always had an affinity for four-door hardtop sedans. Unfortunately for him, most auto manufacturers produced them for only about 20 years, beginning in the mid-1950s.
'What caught my attention was the pearlescent white leather back seat,' Mr. Herman says.
'The nice thing about the car is there is a catalog from New Hampshire where you can get almost anything you want,' he says.
