1937 Colson Imperial Registry

[fordmike65]

I have a feeling there are very few of these bad-boys out there. Please post yours up in any condition.

This is my mocked up Imperial. A combo of two different bikes.

This fenderset/forks & guard off ebay
Imperial #1

Imperial #2
A slightly different variation. Senior bars and standard Colson stem instead of steerhorns & Commander stem.

Bare frame I picked up a number of years ago. No badge holes, frame dated 37 & tank strap screw hole.

Our very own Scott McCaskey's @sm2501 amazing Imperial. I believe it to be the best original in the hobby

Maybe @THEGOLDENGREEK can post up some more pics of my personal favorite, this beauty:

I believe that's the only pic George has. At least it's the only one I've ever seen. It doesn't seem to be a full-blown Imperial either, but I suppose it's close enough.

A restored '37 Imperial with a couple liberties taken, including the front ND brake, 2speed & wear button Lobdell. I have yet to see an original with all the extra pinstriping as in seen the catalog pic above, but this bike definitely has them. A very nice piece and welcome addition to this registry.
