1965 Dodge Dart Charger

Back in 1988 I was fortune to meet a nice gentlemen in Longview, WA. I was staying with my friends David and Phillis who also had a Dart GT conv. named John. John had been in the WW2 and was stationed at Pearl Harbour after the attack.

After serving in the Navy he vent to work at Chryslers assembly plant in Los Angeles. When they closed it down in 1971 he moved up to Portland, OR and started to work at Chryslers Parts Depot.

He had so many stories to tell and was very well speaken. I felt like a little boy. He was interested in my restoration ofmy Dart GT conv that I had back then and after two weeks he showed up at David and Phillis house with a big wodden box.

That box was the box he shipped back his personal belongings back to LA after the war was over. He had bought alot of parts over the years for his 1965 Dart 270 two door sedan he had back then. "- When you need some parts for your car you might find it in the box he said! In the early 1990 he passed away.

Years ago I found some neat old stuff that he had bought at the Monticello Garage in Longveiw with reciepts and all. Then it was just stuffed away.
I had forgot about that box and today I found it. In that box was one thing left, a weatherstripping. After checking the profile I started to wondering if this weatherstripwas for the front door. And yes, it was!!!A weatherstripping for the rear part of the vent window. And I had been wondering where to find one!!!!! This must be my lucky day!

The profile seems ok and the fitting was excellent.

Thanks John for your help. I just wish I could have said it in person.
