How did you get into MoPars ?
My dad's first new car was a '52 Dodge Coronet, which always ran well. I remember that he had a used '46 Nash before that, which never ran right. He told me, "with a used car you're buying somebody else's problems."
In late '56 he bought a new Plymouth Savoy, but when the '57s came out he wished he'd waited.
Then when I was about 14 my brother bought a '41 Plymouth.
I bought a well-used Valiant Suburban in 1964 and drove it many miles.
