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.

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”. |

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!
