Cars...all that is old is new!

So what happened to me?

I was released from the hospital the next day,however my neck and upper back hurt for about a year.

What happened to my 63 Olds convertible? Well... The frame was not bent,so...The car had to be fixed! I only had P.L.P.D. insurance on the car,as I was a poor college student at the time. So I had to fix the Olds myself,even though the accident was NOT my fault!! I bought a fender off a dark blue car,another off a beige car,and a white hood off another car. (at the junkyards) The inner fenders and bumper and grill came off another car.I also overhauled the engine while the car was that far apart anyway. While the Olds was down for repairs,I rode my motorcycle. The following Spring I had the whole car repainted,and drove it until 1980. Sold it after that.

BTW: The 61 Olds and the 55 Cadillac are put away for the Winter. They won't be on the road again until Spring.

I love your posts and car tastes. My second auto was
a 63 Dynamic 88 conv. it was fairly trashed, I think
I paid about three hundred and some change for it, I love those straight side glass window GM's

Thank you Darrel! My 63 Olds convertible was a Dynamic 88 also. Even though it did not have a/c,power windows,or power seats,I felt like I was on top of the world driving that car at 22 years old. With the top down on my baby blue Olds and my hair blowing in the breeze! LOL!!
They were great cars! Do you have any photos of yours?

88 Photos

I'll check with my Ma, I should have at least 1. I know I have at least one of the 58 Buick Limited that I had after the
88.

'50 Plymouth sedan, '64 Valiant hardtop, '78 Dodge D100 p/u, '97 Neon, '99 Chrysler 300M. Only Mopars allowed to berth on my property ;-)

At the top of my car wish list would be a Chrysler or DeSoto Airflow. They are hard to find, but from what I can tell, working on them would be very much like working on a '50 Plymouth. Most of the mechanicals are very similar, if not identical.

I'd also like to get an old mopar p/u... pre-70's. Something that doesn't have to be smogged every two years ;-P

Sudsmaster...

I LOVE MOPARS!

My first car was the '68 Charger that I mentioned and I still have it.

I posted the following a few months back. It is a low res version of my '71 Super Bee GETTING IT ON!
