4. Right after I graduated from HS, my dad and I went to a local Chrysler/Plymouth dealer so I could buy my first car with my grad money as a down payment. There, on a rotating platform, was a ’70 Plymouth “Winged Wonder” in Hemi orange.
   I was instantly in love/lust. And it was only $4700.00!!! (no radio). I looked at my dad with a “so, what do you say Dad?” expression.

   After my dad wiped his eyes with 1/2 a box of Kleenex from laughing so hard, I settled on a ’65 Chrysler 300 w/413 wedge head.
   But that Super Bird always stayed in my mind and dreams…….

8. Back when the real ones raced, they had to sell a certain amount of them so the “stock” car could be raced at NASCAR. The NASCAR racers were based on real stock cars. These didn’t last too long as NASCAR made MOPAR dial down engine to offset aerodynamic advantages.
   Nowadays NASCAR runs all front engine rear drive huge V8 engine race cars with shells resembling the 4 cylinder front wheel drive Toyota Camry and Ford Fusion.
   When Ford completely eliminates their car line except Mustang, they will be running Mustang, Camero, and Challenger. NASCAR dropped the meaning of the S in their name decades ago.

11. I can’t help but wonder how funny it would be to watch a Frank Cannon impersonator try to crawl out of a Continental Mark IV version like that!
    Drink up Shriners!
