OK, so it's not a '59...

Received Thursday 9/2/10 at Sonic Drive Inn, Route 38 Hainesport, NJ The place was just about out of space. Many more cars than they estimated. We saw only 4 Trophies so we both figured it was a nice night anyway. The Imperial won Best Mopar of the show. I not sure it was the Best. Maybe the longest and heaviest. We gladly accepted anyway.

I would think that would be classified as best "Land Yacht" award! That is 2 tons of Detroit Steel! (Jefferson Ave. Assembly)

Congrats!

John and Ken,

I agree, nice land yacht! I drove a '76 Thunderbird and it felt the same way. We also owned a '70 Chrysler Newport that would qualify as a land yacht - just not as much chrome!

Congratulations,
Curt

Curt, C and D body converts are great! I have always liked the 69 Chrysler 300 Convert since I was a wee lad growing up in the Detroit area.

A neighbor had one and I wanted it badly but I was still to young to drive (1971) and had no money either! A chronic dailey double situation that haunted me in my youth. (only the money part in my waining years...) :lol:
