This vehicle was born the same year that I was.

We both seem to be in the same shape.

    Gotta love this one, Tony. You'd probably be surprised as to how many things I see in the picture that could be used in a restoration process. I'm not at all sure what can be done for you.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Very nice shot, I like "faded splendor" shots.

    Thanks for the comments, guys.

    Why is it, though, we shoot rusty wrecks and exotic cars
    at a Concours d'Elegance, but never a photograph of a
    "K" car? Where are the shots of the Dodge Aries and
    the Plymouth Valiant?

    At one time, I owned a mustard-colored Chrysler LeBaron
    convertible that my children named "The Manila Envelope'.

    Probably for the same reason we don't wear powder blue leisure suits, disco dance, or watch
    The Love Boat on Saturday nights... deal.gif

    Very nicely done image. clap.gif

    I thought I had one of those too, but this is a Chrysler TC by Maserati...
