    I bought my car from a man who lived outside of Reading PA.It had belonged to his uncle who had passed away. I was told his uncle had owned it since 1962.The car had 1984 Pa plates on it when i picked it up.The uncle had a brother who also had a 1934 Plymouth coupe also.I am not sure if it was painted the same or not.If anyone has any old pics of my car i would love to see them.

  18. I had the unfortunate responsibility to make a 50 wayfarer solid on a monte carlo frame laid out to the doors (minus rockers
    ) with a nasty chop (something like a 8 inches). Bad Times

    jeeez there is a LOT of mopars out there! You guys on the west coast are lucky.... i had to pack my 54 Savoy away for the winter, and my driver at the moment (65 Imperial) is having some heating issues.... so it's a cold commute on these MI mornings...

    I'll get some pics later to post up, but between my old man and i, we have a few odd ball mopars in the collection:
    -60 windsor wagon
    -40 dodge conv
    -56 Dodge Sierra wagon (for sale)
    -a few 60 imperials(also for sale)
    -55 lancer conv.
    -54 Belvedere conv.
    -68 Imperial Crown Coupe (soon to be my next daily driver)

    Wow, that is really neat. I always wondered if those front ends could tilt. Did you pivot off the bumper brackets? Do the lower edges of the fenders clear the doors? More pix, please!
