Haha, come on and man up! 😄 I guess I'm just used to getting my upper body exercise driving my '41 around town. This seems like a very nice car to me, despite the lack of power steering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudsy Wudsy Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I have misgivings about mounting a fuel filter up in the air like that. It's nice and convenient, will it lend itself to vapor lock? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your good and thanks for the kind wishes! There's no way you could have known my condition. I get an epidural in my neck the first of the month and am hoping that will hold me until early spring. I really like the colors on this car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deac Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 WOW, that's a lot of car for your money. I bet if you drive you'll love it. Yeah it's a 4 door but for a sub $10,000 price you take it anyway! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I think it's a handsome example and the underhood pictures indicate it has been maintained. I like it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63RedBrier Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Wow! $4,000 price drop, but unfortunately on the left coast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It does look nice. Non power steering would be OK as long as you didn't have to parallel park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Non-power steering in cars of this era, especially Chrysler products, can actually improve the driving, as the factory systems tend to be very over-boosted with little road feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 What a great driver for a great price. Cannot believe it has taken this long to sell, although maybe there are hidden issues... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I've seen this two-tone before and simply don't like it. The mid-fifties was a wonderful time for colors at Chrysler Corp. The thing that is always tricky about greens is that they are made up of blue and yellow. Getting the blue/yellow balance right shouldn't be all that hard, but when you try to make two greens compatible you can go off course. I think that is true of these two greens in that the lighter one looks to me to have a little more yellow in it than the darker one. Do any of you see what I'm talking about at all?

6T-FinSeeker Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 I wonder why this car at this price is still for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
