    Tire pressure?

    What you're feeling on rough pavement may be "lack of structural rigidity". Auto testers including Consumer Reports noted this characteristic on all of the new Forward Look '57 Mopars. If you lower your tire pressure, the car will ride less harshly. I'm in the mid-20s on radials on my '60...

    1958 Plymouth Belvedere

    I second what W. Weiland said. The pale sky blue with white is really nice and we don't need any more Christines (as cool as Christine is). I agree with the theory that your car is actually a Belvedere. This is the kind of car I would buy for myself (if I were in the market). How does it...

    pics from Moparfest 2022

    I like the '58 De Soto sedan--and it's FOR SALE! I wonder how much? Quite a few De Soto Adventurers were saved, but these 57-58 4-door sedans are practically extinct. In the late '80s, I used to see a '59 Chrysler Windsor 4-door parked regularly at the Maplewood, New Jersey train station...

    Taking a Ride in my '64 Newport

    Interesting that your '64 Chrysler was re-painted a primer-like gray over the original paint . . . and the car body is solid and rust free! My '60 Dodge Dart was also re-painted gray like that over the original white--and the body on my car is also remarkably rust-free! Maybe that was navy...

    Solution for Smeary 1960 Dodge Speedometer Lenses

    The frosty white finish on the 1960 Dodge Scope-Sight "see through" speedometer lens is very fragile. If you Google search "1960 Dodge Speedometer" or "1960 Dodge Dashboard", you will see that many of these speedometer lenses have the white frosting smeared or worn away. My '60 Dart had this...

    Speedometer Update

    So I've made a few updates to my '60 Dart speedometer restoration that have improved things [refer to my earlier post], including making a separate odometer lens and shade behind the odometer opening. It still looks good in the garage, at night, and when the sun is behind you when driving, but...

    Little things . . .

    On 1960 Dodge Darts, the gold finish tends to wear off the shield emblems on the hood and rear doors. A little gold paint, carefully brushed on to restore the original appearance, makes such a difference! I also did the "P's" in "Phoenix" too. 1) Typical hood emblem with gold finish worn off...

    1960 Dodge Speedometer: I May Have Boo-Booed

    So I have this '60 Dart Phoenix sedan, which is in about #3 condition. It has the "see-through" speedometer. Like on a lot of these I've seen, the speedometer lens frosting was smeared in places and I wanted to make it look uniform again. Some restored cars in internet search photos show how...
