Default Herb McCandles Imperial

Here's a picture of Herbs Imperial. I'm not to up on what years are what, but I think it's an early 60's model. Anyone with more knowledge please correct me.

Herb has driven this car cross country many time. It's got a 413 CID (?) from what I thought someone was saying. The paint is pearl white and is absolutely beautiful.

Indeed. It's one of those cars you really need to see in person because my limited photographic skills can't do the car justice.

No he wasn't showing it. He had it parked in front of Hensley's sales trailer.

It's a '62. I don't believe it would have been available with the long cross-ram intake..... that was reserved for the 300 letter series cars. It is a beautiful looking car. Was low production to start with, and there's very few left that nice now.
