Had a Chrysler 300, the original 1955 model, two 4 barrel carbs on a hemi, first production car to have 300HP. Drove it down to Del Rio where I was stationed, gas on base was $0.17 if I remember correctly, when it came time to replace the tires I couldn't afford them, they were big and expensive so I had to sell it.
Cry every time I think of it, what it's worth today is nothing short of a king's ransom! |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Great looking car, bigger than my boat (a 22 foot CC) and I'm betting it gets less MPG? Thanks Bob, too many cars today look like bars of soap that have gone through a wind tunnel. My Dad had a good eye for cars. He also owned the first Oldsmobile Tornado and a 57 Chrysler Imperial with push button shift and the big Hemi engine..........without air conditioning. |
