I had 2 1960 Plymouth Savoys (2dr sedans) with the slant 6's and automatics. They were not bad at all. I got around in them just fine. Kept up with modern traffic just fine,even on the freeway. I think the weight on those cars was only 3,400 or so. I would have kept them but they were rusty and I eventually found a Fury 2dr hardtop with the 318. I have no problem with a Forward Look with a slant in it though. I even had a 57 Plymouth with the flat six once.
