Lets Play A Game: Last Of The Convertibles

[1978 NYB]

Here's both of mine if you don't already have them.

 

[1978 NYB]

Sadly, no.

I have not run across very many '78 model year cars of any style.
I have very few '78 C body fender tags.
It will be something I pay more attention to in the future.

I tried to get an answer from Chrysler Historical about the last C-Body produced and they had no answer. I posted their response in the attached thread. I started a thread some time ago to find the last C-Body.

When was the last production day for C-Bodies?

Any new members with '70 convertibles?

New member, no -- but recently acquired car, yes. Would love to see all 1970 convertible owners post here.

Mine is a 1970 Polara convertible. I am the car's third owner: I bought it in late March, 2018. Its build date is Dec. 4, 1969 -- as shown in this picture sent to me by the second owner:

For those interested, more on my car's history can be found here:

@vidsal 's 1970 ER6 red Polara ragtop lost its tag at some point, but he posted the info here:

Welcome vidsal to FCBO!

Here is the tag of the 1970 B7 Polara 'vert that @Tobias74 recently got from SK. It is now on its way overseas:

1970 Dodge Polara Convertible

But it isnt B7 it is B3 . Had it been B7 and not the lousy blue interior I would have bought it.

 

[polara71]

You are really trying to hunt these down arent you?

 

[ayilar]

But it isnt B7 it is B3

Indeed. Let's say that I made a typo. The alternative explanation is that I can't read...

Hunter/gatherer at the moment. The alternative is if a supermarket (aka Dave's world's most complete list of over a hundred 1970 Polara 'verts) were to open

While I am at it, the tag of @Ruger's FK5 1970 Polara is here:

Newby 1970 Dodge Polara Convertible

Decoding for that very full tag by @Samplingman can be found in the same thread:

Newby 1970 Dodge Polara Convertible

 

[polara71]

After reading some of that thread I should mention, the number of cars located in the last two years is zero.

After reading some of that thread I should mention, the number of cars located in the last two years is zero.

From gathering information by reading old threads, it seems that a number of cars previously owned by members are now owned by folks who don't post here. I am thinking about @mdh157's ER6, ER8 and EW1 Polara 'verts. The fender tag for the latter is here:

It's Over

but I have not found any new info about that car since 2015 posts (other than it went South).

I have found even less about the R6 & R8 ragtops that Mark sold way back in 2012.

 

[polara71]

All true ..... the. Red car went overseas. I hooked Mark up to that car for a super cheap price. It was offered to me by a desperate separated husband. Buckets , 318

There are some other 1970 Polara convertibles whose owners I have read about on this board but whose fender tags I have never seen. For example:

Peter's EY3 cream: Moparfest 2016?

@Jon Tessier 's custom blue: Welcome Jon Tessier to FCBO!

@mdh157 's former ER6 red and ER8 Burgundy: O.K. Carlisle photos now??

@Cags70PolaraConvert's currently "spray paint" blue: Pics of 69-73 C bodies, Pics of 69-73 C bodies

 

[polara71]

Jon's tag is missing .
