Since many of us will not be able to enjoy our cars out in the wild for some time. How about a virtual Car Show (even Trailer Queens are welcome)

My dad bought this 67 Dodge Dart Convertible in February of 1967. He drove it as his daily driver for 25 years putting about 300,000 miles on it. Its next 25 years were spent mostly in the garage but taken out for an occasional drive.

It is stock and mostly OE. The top, some trim, arm rests and the left front fender have been replaced along with the left rear quarter panel, (daily drivers get into accidents) The stock 273 2bbl with CAP was rebuilt at about 150,000 miles and the 904 trans at about the same time.

The Dart has the Rally Suspension Package and front KH disk brakes. It is a split bench with column shift. It is believed that the front drivers seat back has been replaced but the carpet and the rear seats are OE from about 12/66 (I have seen the tags and ink stamps)

Picked this bad boy up at a moving sale a couple years ago for $10. Wife wanted to restore it, but I said no way, it's got near perfect patina! Weighs about 300 lbs

1976 Pontiac Ventura, purchased from original owner in 2011 with 27,325 miles, after being parked for 18 years. Factory equipped with a stout 105 horsepower 260 cubic inch 2V Oldsmobile V8, backed by a TH 350 auto trans, and 2.56:1 geared open 10 bolt rear axle. It now has slightly over 38,000 miles, has never had any rust, and is completely original, except of course for wear and safety items.
I am considering giving it an injection of horsepower, but keeping the appearance as close to original as possible.

Last summer I took my niece and nephew to CA and I bought a 1964 Dodge Dart and drove it back to MN via Route 66. Best trip I've ever had. That little 225 slant 6 made it the whole way with no problems. I felt bad taking an original black plate car out of CA but that car saw more in that 10 days than it had seen in its whole life. I think I saw it smiling a few times too.
Once I got back it was pointed out to me the horns we got in TX were put on upside down. haha
Enjoy-Jeanette
