Here are some pictures that I took at the annual California Statewide Imperial Meet in Visalia (just south of Fresno), on May 1 & 2, 1999. Just click on each picture to see a larger version.

I would have taken more pictures, but I was very busy making the Visalia Videotape. I apologize for not listing more specific names - can somebody help me fill in the details? Also, does anyone else have any other Visalia pictures I can post here?

An early-morning sight - Such beautiful Imperials!

Alison's two daughters with Jim Martin's 1939 Imperial limousine - They love that car!

The girls get to ride in utter splendor in Jim's 1939 Limousine.

Alison's husband shows off his prize - an hour's worth of thrills at a Nevada house of ill-repute!

OIC member Hans Schoor visited from Switzerland with his lovely girlfriend.

Here they are with an array of Imperials as a background.

These two emblems weren't on an Imperial (they were on a '53 Chrysler), but I thought they were worth photographing.

Here's what I looked like during Sunday morning's brunch.

I can't remember these two guys' names, but they were very pleasant Imperialists!

This is Cathy Bullock with her mother.
