Just bought a 57 Imperial...parting it out and need info

[Peranders Hot Rods]

I recently picked up a 57 Imperial that we pulled the HEMI out of for use in a 37 Ford Coupe. I have been taking off parts one by one and listing them on ebay. Im a GM guy so I dont know much about these cars but Id like to find some more info on them. Also are there any parts that are particularly valuable or rare?

Were alot of these cars sold overseas? I bet about half of the parts ive sold so far have got to european or australian buyers.

If you need any parts please feel free to let me know, I would love to see some of these parts go to someone that really needs them.

Thanks...I hope to stop by these forums more often, seems like a great place:D

Just over 16 thousand Imperials were built for the 57 model year. They are rare compared to Cadillacs of the same year. A lot of big old American cars get shipped to Europe each year. Popular stuff over there.
