Ok, coots, mine was a 1954 Desota, and it was a tank. I bought it for $125. You could sit 4 people across in it! Also take 8 people to the drive in + 3 iin the trunk....... :

Mine was a '53, IIRC, with Fluid Drive. I think a tank would have been an upgrade

Dad's '51 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe had the fluid drive also. If you put it in 'Low', punched it and dumped the clutch, let off the gas and punched it again, it would shift into a super low gear and spin the heck out of the tires! All from a whimpey 6-banger! Loved those wing windows too.

I think one of the dis-services the automakes dumped on the American public was the elimination of those wing windows.

I remember riding in a '34 Ford "woody" wagon from San Fran to Walnut Creek--they were still digging the first tunnel!

1st car I drove was '49 Kaiser...looked like a Sherman Tank. Then Dad bought a '52 Packard Patricia...talk about back seat space...loved it!!!
1st car was a '65 Plymouth Fury III that I bought with my money earned fighting forest fires on a Regional Suppression Crew in OR got $2.00/hr!! 2nd car was a '67 Buick Rallye Sport...the carburetor kept coming loose and when I commuted to PSU, I had to stop halfway to tighten the screws so it wouldn't fall off. Only caught on fire once!!
My friends had the "muscle cars"..."442", "427" Vette, "Hemi" Plymouth Satellite and Dodge Charger, Mercury Cyclone (Cobra engine I think), GTO (Goat), "327" Chevy Malibu, "409" Mercury Comet...got to drive them but never had the big bucks, $3-4000 to buy one.
The good old days!!!!!!

My parents have a Plymouth Fury. It's either a '65 or a '68, fire-engine red, in beautiful condition thanks to Dad's restoration (my inheritance is in that car !!). That car's iron, not plastic. I wouldn't go head-to-head with it with my motorhome...the Winnebago would lose.
