I would have posted this one sooner, but I was away on Vaca. Got back yesterday and this was in one of my saved searches. Pretty sharp looking for its age.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Dec 21, 2008 3:48 pm) That DeSoto wagon looks quite nice. I have always had a soft spot for wagons.

Replying to: xwesx (Dec 22, 2008 12:09 pm) He also has a 1960 Dodge Polara station wagon. It's a hardtop wagon, like this one from "The Birds", and has a 383 with a factory cross-ram setup! The DeSoto's pretty ratty and the Polara's even worse, but he intends to fix them both up. He's genius when it comes to body work, so that part won't be a problem for him. I imagine finding all the interior and trim pieces will be, though. One really odd beast he has is a 1960 Dodge Matador hardtop coupe, that he's going to use as a donor car for a convertible. It has a smallish rear window, and this was the first time I'd really noticed that some of them had a small window, while others had a much taller one. Now the '57-59 DeSotos and Chryslers did that, with the nicer ones sporting a bigger rear window, but I guess I had just never noticed that the '60's did that, too. Anyway, by the time he got this car, it had a 1962 Newport front end clip on it, and a slant six stuffed under the hood, although by the time I saw it, the engine and front clip were taken off. Originally it would have had a 361-2bbl. Must have been an odd looking beast, although the front-end clip bolted right up seamlessly. Neither the '62 Newport nor the '60 Dodge had any creases that carried from the fender to the door, so everything matched up. |

Replying to: lokki (Dec 22, 2008 1:45 pm) '77 Checker Cab -- collectible? Well, yeah, sure, whatever you say man. Glass bottles are also collectible. 93 Alfa Turbo Diesel---how did THAT ever get in the country? A 1.9 liter diesel for a car of that size doesn't sound all that exciting. Dodge Shag Van -- oh, well, three mechanics have "concurred" that it has 32,000 original miles on it, so it must be true. I mean, what's some tawdy "documents" in the face of a mechanic nodding his head? $15,000 bucks? I just can't imagine that. |

I kinda like that "adult toy" Dodge van, from the outside at least. I think the extension off the back is a bit clumsy though. It would look better in a standard length. Or at least if they had stretched the wheelbase too. But when I saw the inside, I almost lost my lunch!
