Funny I just posted a reply on another thread about what the car world we cherish as Mopar fans woulda been like without Chrysler Corporation. I’ve had intense debates, mostly comical; give it to your buddy ****, with non-mopar guys over the decades loving their Chivvies and Phords. And well there are some I really like and owned over the decades. But, Mopar had the guts to do outlandish things with body styles, especially late 50's early 60's, aside from absolute killer motors/drive trains, that a whole lot of us as owners or admirers, relish. Even an old buddy today, a Chiv guy to the max, likes me to lead when we go cruising admitting he likes to look at my ’63 Plymouth leading our convoy! Complaints? Likely the same with any car 50 years old cuz well, cars weren’t made to last half a century. I could explain further after complete resto of my old mopar as I'm sure others could...cept theee same with the other big two.
I’ll admit as a past owner of a ’70 Cuda and ’73 Challenger, the body was tinny. Ya didn’t wanna slam the doors hard cuz ya thought something might break. I recall telling my girlfriend, later my dear wife, don’t slam the friggin door! It’ll close just fine without the added uumph! Durability though? Tell me another make that could stand up to hard beat-the-**** run out better…just my pin.
