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.

 

[oliver]

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.
