Fully Loaded Police Chrysler Wagon Looks like the Mass. State Troopers liked Hemis back then too: Take you 15 minutes to load all the crap up after shortarm inspection!
Does the book indicate where that deealership was? There is a 'Modern Motors' in Glendale, CA. currently that sells Cadillacs. I wonder if they had a Chrysler franchise back in 1960?
As that thread progresses it moves on to Chicago and Minnesota, but that comes from a section of California posters. So you're probably right.
It tis ta gether again....now fer owner to come around...I is now caught up...couple of little things to do and then out of customer job's....from two years behind to caught up....one little hood paint job in shop to do this morning and will instal it on Monday...
Eat that you rice-rockets. There's more glorious chrome on that, than most rice-rockets weigh! And she'll still leave you in the rearview mirror!
You otta post that on those Imperial sites. You'd be busier than a one-armed paper-hanger. Or just link to this thread.
That car is about the only thing that would make me move to another house. It's too long to park in the backyard!
Norm I is of the thought that a fulla should have a six hundred square foot house and a six thousand square foot shop.....would build the shop with a barn style hip roof with being able to drive into the second floor or a lift installed...On my sidehill it could be done easily...Geo thermal heat of course for the shop.....wood stove fer the house with a back up furnace when ya want to git away....I do miss the wood heat....when had wood heat would git the morning fire going and matey would always arrive early and we would have our morning coffee at the wood furnace...him passed on now....lot of me buddy's gone now....guess I gittin old also wandering off on a post like this....oh well the musing's of and old fulla....This was me wood hauling truck..
We had a woodstove, then an stove oil heater. You'd usually find the whole famdamily around it in the morning. My granny had those hot-coal bedwarmers to take the chill out before we crawled in. Yeah, I know what you mean about the matey. We had an old Nova Scotian navy carpenter who lived with us. More stories than a library, and worked like your right arm! I know your head won't swell, but you do some of the finest work I've ever seen, and I was raised 4 blocks from the Canadian Automotive Museum, in Oshawa, Ontario. Ron Fawcett used to come to our junkyard and snoop around too. His 'house' was in Whitby, about 15 minutes away: http://www.fawcett-movie-cars.com/ You're in the 'zone'. Hope your teaching the next generation.
Speaking of Movie cars, I found a couple links, besides Ron's: http://www.movievehicles.com/ http://www.jimsclassiccorner.com/showroom.htm
I just read that Fawcett passed away last year, but he sold over 400 of his cars in 2007. Talk about a fleet master! Nice article, good pics: http://www.wheels.ca/Article Category/article/31651
