I got this batch of photos from my older sister. Take a look -- there are some cool ones and some just plain "Who cares?" cars. I sure hope the identifiers made it through the photobucket system.

Yeah...I remember 'em. I wouldn't mind having one of each, but the city I live in would probably cite me for having an illegal junkyard.
How about one I shot yesterday? AC Cobra serial number 2002 (2nd one ever built...on an AC Bristol platform.)

Not bad, Ray. I could go through the list (that I got from Karen), but I think you're close enough -- and you'll no doubt be corrected by some of the other old
farts folks on this Forum if you're wrong. Thanks for your input.

I guess this is going to make me an old
fart folk.
The Riviera is a '71. Louvres on the trunk lid are the giveaway.
'72 - no louvres.
'73 had the license plate in the middle.
I thought they were ugly when they first came out, but few cars of that time period look as good to me today as the Riv.

The '59 Plymouth is actually a Sport Fury. They were each built to order for the individual customer and had a plaque on the dash that said something like "This car was especially built by Chrysler Corporation for XXX XXXXXX". I can't remember the exact phrasing. One of the guys whose race car I did a lot of work on had one.

the red car was build at Ghia,on a chrysler frame, named Duel Ghia. some had hemi's in them. I have made many parts for them over the years, they ended up being a real rusty car the way they were built.
