One thing I noticed on the Jack Instruction sticker in the trunk (1969 Polara) is that it used Bolts and not Nuts, obviously bolts are not correct. I assume the error was discovered and corrected, I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I wish I had a better picture of the...

With the recent talk about IBM cards and decoding them I thought I'd share what I have learned This is an example of a card with punches representing Numbers and punches representing Letters I do not know if there is an official label for the first two rows I just labeled them A & B In this...

I’m at an event and there is a 1968 Polara certified speedometer for sale. I might help the right interested buyer with the purchase. Alan

I tried different websites, different computers, different browsers? You can save it but when you go to view it is just blank or not viewable. I should add, I have no problems from other sites. Alan

When I read about these motors I saw mention of the "thick" washer on the end of the shaft. When I took the motor apart I looked for it and thinking there might be a thin one as well, not sure why I thought that. I didn't see one as I pulled the gear housing off looking carefully with a pick...

Are the two styles of gear assemblies interchangeable? The front motors have the style with the three pucks. The rear motors have the style with the springs. I got some new assemblies with the pucks, they appear to fit both styles. Just thought it might save me having to clean the two (the two...

Looking for original shift clips and thin washer used on the shift linkage in multiple places. Need 2 of each but should probably have a couple extra on hand. Alan

In 2010 I met Ron Hurwitz when I was still working on making a clone CHP 69 Polara. At that time he told me that the plan was to someday donate his car to the CHP Museum. Through the years he had received offers and had people question him, Ron isn't a person with money and could use money from...

A friend of mine was selling his 67 Barracuda convertible, it was a deal I couldn't pass up. It is a slant 6. My Copper fastback on the driveway, his in the garage (my garage). All three at a recent show. Alan

As pointed out in another thread I have noticed that some tops fold all the way down and others do not. Mine sticks up 3-4" even if I try to push it down it doesn't go any further. I have not seen other cars in person so I have no idea what may be off, I have been assuming the material is...

This picture has been floating around the internet for a little while now. It is labeled 1957 Sears Parking Lot Show in Lynnwood. Right away the Rod and Custom Dream Truck caught my eye then I realized that the show has other customs. The show was 2-1/2 miles from my dads house and he was a big...

Not something you see often as Chrysler doesn't have them, so unless you find one in the car you are not likely to see one. This one is to a 1969 Polara 500 convertible with the HP440 (not mine) This card is labeled LOCATOR, not sure if there were different cards. This card doesn't include...

Recently I was informed of a mutual acquaintance passing, he was a member here although quiet. Derek (Limey) had a CHP 1969 Polara (original bodyside molding has been put on) I have not heard what is happening with the car, the family has contacted my friend on what he felt the car was...

A friend of mine is working on a 1963 Newport police car, don't know much about it, 426 I think, white with red interior, it is staying white. Last week he towed it down from Napa to have my body guy paint it for him. The car is very clean. All we know is that the car came out of Idaho and is...

Somehow I misplaced this clip or forgot it on the car when it went to the body shop, either way I need it. Car is 1969 Polara, Thanks, Alan

Some like it some don't, I'm trying to find out some things about this package. Is there an option code for it? Is this code on the data tag? Is this code on the broadcast sheet? It is commonly referred to as the "Spring Special" trim. When was it available? Those with it what is your...

The rear tack strips on my car (69 Polara) are rusted. The best I could tell they are not used as "tack strips", I assume the rubber is to help hold the top in place. Question 1. I have seen new ones for a great many different cars, not the 69 Polara (that I could find) Does anybody know of a...

It took a while and I had a friend calling around. He contacted D and D Automobilia and we supplied them a good sample (shown below). I have not got mine back yet but I have faith it will be good. I will update with actual price once I have that confirmed but it will be about $1500 - $2000...
