The Listserver helps us resurrect glorious old automobiles, guides future
auto design, helps meet new people in exotic places (like Kalispel, MT)
and provides group therapy in the knowledge I'm not the only one who yells
at the TV.
Thanks to some recent club member charity, I'm down to my last C convert.
parts begging..
Anyone out there have a pair of sunvisor bases / rods for a '57, '58 ('59?
same?) non-Imperial mopar ragtop? Rusty, broken would be AOK. I've a photo
from a '58 at http://www.fototime.com/inv/CDB08B08F0AAF25 . I'm told they
were common across model lines in '57 & 8, but I even more unsure about
'59. Thanks & happy Spring! mike v

In my opinion, as soon as I saw "the handshake" on CNN, between Chrysler
and
Diamler, I guess that was about 4 years ago, the Chrysler name and
heritage
was flushed down the toilet. Not to mention, I had a yelling outburst at
the
TV, as if that did any good.

Subject: RE: Hemi Concept car
Well, closer examination of these photos does convince me that DC thinks
what will be 'hot' is what we will call Hummer Chic. That is, very high
slab sides, vertical front and back, slit-like windows, no grace of line
and few curves.
Everybody gets to have their own opinion, but I really didn't want
something that looks like an armored car. Maybe others do. Interior is
pleasant enough, if awfully angular. We can take comfort in the fact that
the old 300's did not need a cool looking shroud to make the engine room
attractive. That big ol' V8 did it just fine, thanks.

Subject: Re: New 300 and Mopar's heritage.
I agree. The only ones who made out on that deal are Lutz and the rest of
that crew, who made millions off of the "theft" of a great American Car
maker. Now there's only "the big 2", but the media idiots still call them
"the big 3". The funny thing about this is the AMA wouldn't let Honda into
the Assoc, even tho Hondas are built here with 90% US parts, because they
were foreign owned....bet Daimler is a member!
Don't feel bad about yelling at the TV, my bride does it all the
time....I,
of course, do not do this!

You WILL notice which car stopped the quickest? My '61 D500 has 12 x 3
brakes from day one and it REALLY can stop! Now as to which lane it is
finally stopped in, that is always subject to change.....

Maybe one should yell at the stockholders who signed off on this deal,
they
thought they would get something for nothing. Nothing like a dose of good
old-fashioned greed to toss it all away.

>From the responses I received, I gather that my car does not have it's
original rear end. My brake drums are not part of the hub; they come off
with the five lug nuts. And the lugs are studs, not bolts. Hmmm...
Anyway, the hubs are still giving me heartburn. I am finishing up a
puller
I made from 6" dia hot roll with a 1X24 screw I will use to pull against
the
axle. I should have this done tomorrow. If this doesn't work.... leaky
seals aren't the end of the world.

By the way, that Imperial by Exner JR is very cool.

We need a heater core or suitable substitute for a 58D with air. Does
anyone know of a source?
