What year is this car??

 

Be nice I already know.. I am working on it..

[lump]

Hmmmm...1953 Kaiser, maybe? 

[28 Chrysler]

More photos would help.

Yeah, can't tell if it has rear leafs or coil suspension, not sure if those angled "tubes" at rear are shocks or frame components. I notice front coil springs with tube-type shocks, and appears to be an inline engine, but cannot see much of it at all. Too much for me to do much guessing. I merely took the clues that you mentioned you were working on it, and then I looked back at some of your previous posts and saw that they often featured Kaisers. Then I just took a wild guess based on that.

Beautiful '68 Chrysler 300!

Uncommon car. I don't recall seeing very many of them, even back in the day. Nice!

I bought this one new but unwisely let it go.    Had a 440 V-8, heavy duty brakes and suspension, styled wheels.  The top was dark olive.  I never saw another convertible in that color combination.  $5,600 when new and I got an excellent trade-in allowance for a '65 Cadillac deVille convertible.
