Can I throw a Dano in the mix?

Sure, as long as I get to throw a North in…

That would be the 76 Chrysler Cordoba with the "lean burn" 400 I used to own. I can still imagine Ricardo Montebahn (sp) in those commercials.
Yep, mine did as well and ran awful until it got good and hot. I have no reservation in saying that it caused more pollution and wasted fuel by making the car run rough by having that wonderful environmental goodness on it. No matter how I tried to adjust the carburetor, nothing helped and a most adjustments easily made it much worse.

Even so, it was and will always be my favorite car. The inside was so pretty it was always a conversation starter with the ladies, and I don't mean that in a tacky way. It was beautiful inside. The outside wasn't too bad either. Can't see the Landau roof.

I ordered them custom from ebay user clower777

, he has different colors/color combinations available, as well as different styles. I asked for that specific combo, it wasn't a regular offering.





Yeah, that was her dad, and on-screen towards the end, too

Interesting catalog that seller has, a bit pricey though...

I always thought it was a pretty classy looking car in its day. Looks dated now, but then so does everything that isn’t shaped like a jellybean.
 
Good morning! Love that ‘64(?) and all the mojo that comes with it. Gotta get me one of those some day.

So I guess it’s Up Close Tuesday:

My oldest is the Flamingo. Oldest bass is the EB-2 of indistinct vintage. Gotta love garbled up Gibson serial number information.
