How did you become a Mopar A-body Enthusiast?
The first true Mopar in the family was the '59 Fury my mom bought brand new to replace the '54 Hudson that was the family car when my dad unexpectedly passed at a very young age in 1956. I was always impressed by the styling of that '59 Fury.
Later, my mom remarried and the family became an Oldsmobile family. My first car was a '64 Olds F-85 that I went to college with and was still driving when I got married. This was our only car for a few months until we decided we needed a 2nd car. My mom worked at the school district credit union and knew of one of their members whose son had joined the Navy and was selling a car he'd recently purchased brand new. We went to look at it and I fell in love as soon as I saw it - a 2-month old '69 Swinger 340, R4 Red with a white butt stripe and Cragars.
Been hooked on A-bodies ever since.
Sure wish I still that Dart, but my "new" '69 Dart should be out of "paint prison" in a couple of months!
