Dear PackardV8,

I just looked at your post -- but the link to the e-bay sale was expired. I'm going to assume the car for sale was one of the "Cord Royale" replicas w/ Chrysler engines. In 1969, my dad and I went to see one when they had just come out, at Royal Motors in Alexandria, VA, I believe. I still have the ad I saved about it from the Post. The car had a yellow fiberglass body, a 440 V-8, AC, and an automatic. I was just a teenager, but the car looked great to me, even though I knew it was just a replica of something greater and earlier.

The dealer, who sold Chrysler/Plymouth, who was just selling them on the side, not building them. We didn't drive it, but it looked pretty fast. There was no way the salesman was going to let a sixteen-year-old still enrolled in driver's-ed take it for a spin.
