After reading 67 Chrysler 300's intro, I got to thinking about all the Mopars, many c-bodies, my family has owned. Here's the list I can think of now, but I probably missed a few. Parents and siblings are by model year, mine are by order of purchase.

Saw "Night of the Living Dead" at the drive-in in the summer of '69, scared the **** out of all us kids because we grew up in Meadville, PA and the zombies tracked from Evans City, PA, where the movie was filmed, to Conneautville, PA, about 8 miles from the drive-in we were at. lol)

Man some of you guys got a real legacy going on.
Sorry to say but I'm the only Mopar-man in my family. My dad owned a Fury once upon a time but that was just a beater. Other then that he was always more of a Pontiac guy.

Anyone else Defect to Mopar?
 
When I was in my early 20's I wanted a '55 Packard Clipper (always liked its face) until one day in the early '80's a cab ride in a '72 Newport got me into Mopars. I still remember the driver saying he would have preferred a 440 over the 400.

Personally I like the 1950 Clipper, Interesting story though Oliver. Weird how little things like that shape our lives.
 
Yep, it's oftentimes the little things that have the most significant impact.
I'd still take a Packard Clipper today, but as a second choice
 
I'm the only car guy in the bunch... no brand loyalty either, except my departed grandfather who always drove gm products... IDK why, probably a discount plan of some kind or something.

I'm a little jealous of you guys who have fond memories of sharing your hobby with a family member. On the other hand, my rebellious nature might have driven me into accounting or some other direction if they were.
