1955 Dodge
1968 Chrysler  300 Convertibe.  

Owner:  Eric Johnson, Lombard, IL
I purchased the car in June, 2002 from a dealer in Texas and had the car shipped to my home in Illinois.  There were 2,161 300 convertibles produced in 1968, and this one was produced early in the model year, as the rear tail light panel is painted silver, not black as was done later in the year.  The car runs with the standard 440 350 hp engine, Other options include air-conditioning, center console, power driver's seat and an AM radio.  It is mostly original, with a new top and paint.

68 Newport
1964 Dodge Dart

Keith Lowell,  Goodyear, Arizona


This 1964 Dodge Dart 170 two-door was originally purchased in November 1964 from Hinckley Dodge in Ogden, Utah. I purchased the car from the same dealership in 1989 when the original owner traded it in. According to well kept service records the car was consistently serviced at the dealership.  t is an complete original slant six with a 3-speed manual transmission, with 51,000 documented original miles. It was reupholstered and repainted in 1992, everything else remains the same.
1968 Chrysler Newport convertible
Ed Cilurso
Haddonfield, NJ
 
I purchased my Newport in late 2004.  It was partially restored, with the original 383 rebuild, the seats re-upholstered to match original, and a new top.  It is an extremely lightly optioned car originally sold in PA, featuring power steering, AM Radio, and not much else!  My goals for 2005 will be to get the body restored and repainted in original Antique Gold, and to work the interior bits not completed (such as the visors, glove box, etc).  The car drives beautifully, and I can’t wait for the summer.

1959 Imperial  Crown  2 door Southampton

Tom Green,  Lindenhurst, Il.  

As "Uncle" Tom McCahill of Mechanix Illustrated wrote when he tested one of these cars:  "This doll was as loaded as an opium peddler during a tong war........Swivel seats make it as easy to get into as a floating crap game with fresh money..........On the 31 degree banked turns the big Imp  hung in there like oil going through a hose......The finest car built in America, and I've been testing cars for a long time."
1942 DeSoto Fifth Avenue
Jim Humlong,   Ann Arbor Michigan

The 5th Avenue  was a package deal where all available factory options were installed at one price,   considerably lower than the sum total of individual purchased options.    This included fender skirts, push button radio, special 5th Avenue Badging on radio speaker grille and hood ID,  turn signals,  parking brake warning light, electric antenna, special cigarette dispensing steering wheel hub, lighter,  electric clock,  4 speed hydraulic transmission with fluid drive, white plastic trim rings on wheels to simulate whitewall tires,  chrome plated stoplight housing,  and various other items not to mention a translucent lighted hood ornament.    The car also has a special Sportsman Highlander Plaid interior     The hidden headlights are a real novel design idea and only used for 1942 models.   It is powered by a 236 CID flathead  6 cylinder engine.   It is a pleasure to drive and lives up to its tag line of the “smartest designed car of 1942”.

1970 Plymouth Superbird
Jon and Patty Carson
Woodinville, WA 


1961 Chrysler Newport Hardtop Wagon

It is now on the road as a daily driver.  I have replaced the exhaust, tires and wheels, brakes, shocks and gas tank.  Other wise the only repiars were the dash gauges and lighting, and a thorough cleaning and buff job.  The car was parked in 1965 and has only 51000 miles and no rust anywhere. It is making losing the Saratoga easier!
