So how far back does your Mopar experience go?
Our next car after the 52 DeSoto was a coral and white 56 Dodge Coronet D500 2dr sedan, which Dad bought in the spring of 1957 (it would be five more years before he bought his first new car). 315 Hemi, 260 hp, Powerflite. I've always had a soft spot for 56's of all brands, but of course especially Mopars. For the past 20 years I've owned a turquoise and black 56 Plymouth Belvedere 2dr sedan, with a 277 power pack, 200 hp, also a Powerflite. Not nearly as fast as that D500 was, but still one of my favorite cars.
