What made you drive a MoPar?

Me and sis in front of Pop's 52 DeSoto. Looked stock, but had a 291 hemi (bored out from 276), heads milled .100, dual carbs, Mallory ignition and dual exhaust. Fast for the day.

Pop's 62 Polara 500 convertible was the first car I legally drove on the highway. 361 got replaced by a 440 in the spring of 68.

Pop bought a 67 Hemi Charger the fall of 1970, put over 100,000 miles on it, then gave it to me in 1983 after he blew the motor. Still have it today.

Have never owned a Chevy, and the only Ford I ever owned was a 49 pickup that I bought just to get running and flip. The old flathead did sound good, though.
