    YOM PLates

    The Ambassador was straight forward. Take new white plates and use blue plates I supply. It was the other two since the Mustang plates were to be transferred over to the Dodge. That part led to uncertainty when it came time to finish the Mustang she then put the plates for the Dodge under her...

    How many of you get a private message now and then asking you about a car you have for sale yet you have NO car for sale. Third time this year for me. Latest is about a phantom 74 Charger I supposedly have for sale.

    what is best oil to use on 1978 Chrysler with 400 engine?

    Wondering when someone would mention that oil. I use VR1 10W-30 in all but the Polara which gets 20W-50. The four Fords all have rebuilt engines with under 20,000 miles while the Polara is not rebuilt yet at 77,000 miles. Filters are Motorcraft except the Ambassador which is Wix. Seems no cross...

    YOM PLates

    Part of my restoration was to always get correct YOM plates for the Polara. The seven digit white and blue plates look so wrong on an older car. Maybe not to younger folks but to me they are an eye sore. Well today was the day to go down to the DMV. I went to Window 18 and when I arrived I asked...

    Proper Vinyl Top Replacement Advice Needed - 1973 Newport Custom

    You can take the top off yourself as it isn't impossible to do. I did it on my 73 Polara. Don't be surprised to possibly see a pinhole or two along the lower rim of the window channel. Those channels easily got dirt buildup that almost never dried. After that I stripped to bare metal, shot with...

    I got a Station Wagon!

    My Polara is the 360-2V.

    I got a Station Wagon!

    Engine, storage, and roof rack chrome. The 360 has amazing kick off the line. Very different compared to the 360 in the Polara. Actually comes across as more powerful from a dead stop.

    I got a Station Wagon!

    Got it out for the first time today to clean and drive. The carb definitely needs a rebuild when driving on town streets. On the freeway the car is very smooth and you wouldn't think of the carb. Solid steering with zero wander. Battery turns out to be just 3 years old and the tires are only...
