Great stuff! What a harrowing Vet story. Hey, have you toured the Nethercutt Collection in the San Fernando Valley? It's the collection of the man who launched Merle Norman Cosmetics. Well worth the visit and great fodder for more storytelling.
Another interesting article, i lol reading “ It’s hard to believe that in 1978 a total of 22,256 people walked into a Chrysler dealer showroom and said Yep, I’ll take THAT one.”
As kitch as are this and other models from that era are i still definitely prefer them to today’s models. As you pointed out they all look the same and it’s not a good look IMHO.
Growing up, I had a friend whose parents had a (I'd guess) late '70s Jeep Grand Wagoneer with that faux wood grain, "Vacation" (looking at you, Chevy (Chase)) feel to it. I don't hate that late '70s LeBaron... it's no AMC Pacer.
Great wagon comparison photo. I remember the days when a car break down was always a possibility and everyone knew how to work on a car.
Yes the older model was/is gorgeous!
