Please WELCOME A New Member, Rick Turner (1978 LeBaron Wagon)

[Mark Evans <evansma@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rick,
My mom bought the first Lebaron of that body style to make it to Houston
(what the dealer friend to us at the time). It was a 77 1/2 LeBaron
Medallion 2-Door. Maroon with white Leather interior. Just before I had
learned to drive. So, remember a lot about it. Had a 360, power windows &
seats, and cruise. A couple of features of the Medallion was the
double-lensed tail lights with a clear lense in front with a silver eagle
crest emblazoned. Also was imprinted on the rear quarter windows. First
vacuum-flourscent digital clock I ever saw on a car. Thought we made the
big-time.

I imagine all of these are pretty rare now. Especially wagons!

and
