Nice car I can remember picking one up new.

Nice, eye pleasing color...curious to the additional trim on the side of the car, is this an additional side trim which was a popular update in the era that is aluminum base with slip in molded rubber strips and nicely polished corners? Again, nice...drive carefully ok..

Thanks. Yea, not sure on the side trim either. Haven't seen one with it yet. It does look of high quality. 81K Orig mile car and don't have any door dings. Maybe a good idea as well. The car's orig color was DD1, Lt Blue Poly. Don't know why it didn't go back to that, but in time it will get its orig color.

Well, It's finally home at last! When we pulled up, it was sitting out front waiting. Was a cool shot with all the other hotrods parked around. like back in the day. Now that its home, my garage has "That Smell" You know, that Mopar interior smell, or should I say Heaven
I cannot stop looking at it either.
Now to find out how much money it would cost to build a "408" Poly 318? My brother told me the other day, he has a 2x4 intake for it. He kept it from the 59 Coronet he had. it was in the trunk when he bought it. haha. Decisions, decisions.

You know, mine may have had the same w/o moulding as yurs. I see screw holes in my wheel openings and a few down below the rocker strip I have on it now. I also have the original 14" hubcaps and the original steering wheel. It has cracks tho. Anyone repair them? I'd like to put it back on. I love them horn rings.
