All In The Family

Old automobiles are a real source of pleasure in my family. Below is Dads' 64' Le Baron. He just bought it in December and is really looking forward to going all through it. Luckily he was a Chrysler mechanic when this car rolled of the show room floor, some things money can't buy. He was the one who put the king pins and bushings in my car. Having that kind of knowledge at your finger tips is a real plus. Also below is the newest member of the All-Star line up,the "Chairman of the Board",that's right, Mr. Frank Sinatra. My mother owned one of the 279 new in 82'. The car was plagued with fuel injection problems as were all of them. That eventually lead to the car being traded on a 5th Avenue. What a giant leap back! The parting of that car has been a bone of contention eversince. It is great to have one back at home again.


Finger Prints Left Behind

It is clearly obvious Exner did not draw the lines of the 64's. As a matter of fact the stylist came over from Lincoln. Even though it bore some resemblence to the Lincoln, It had Exner's two peice egg crate grill like the 55 and 56 modles

 
Does that thing have a Hemi in it?

Unfortunately for dad, no. But the 413 is more than ample. The 413's were great running engines with a very impressive record of reliability. I my case, yes Claudia does! The funny thing is, most people anymore do not even know the difference of what they are looking at. It is amazing the amount of people who ask what it is, not recognizing those tool box size valve covers.

The Iacocca wing of the collectiom

 The much anticipated but too soon forgotten Chrysler TC by Maserati. Simply seen by many ill informed car buffs as an over priced, two seat LeBaron. The TC did share alot of DNA with other Chrysler products of the time but was far from the fore mentioned. The TC boasted a beautiful hand crafted Italian leather interior,aluminum alloy wheels by Italian formula one wheel manufacturer  Fond Metals. To keep cost down on this $33,0000 dollar car in 89',yes there were some trim pieces common with other lesser Chrysler products but all told the TC was a true two seat sports car with a far more affordable price tag than anything else you could find in the market.

There are car clubs dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the TC. Who would have ever thought so few cars could bring together so many people.
