Hello from a longtime ForwardLook fan

[big m]

Howdy all,
Some folks may know me from other sites, as I have sold used, vintage auto parts for years.

Ever since I was brought home from the hospital in a '57 Plymouth years ago, I have had this strong attraction to the finned cars of the late fifties, early sixties. My current list of keepers includes these-
'56 Belvedere convertible [needing restoration]
'57 Fury [restored daily driver since 2002]
'58 Fury [needs restoration]
'58 Belvedere convertible [needing restoration]
'58 Dodge Custom Sierra wagon [restored driver]
'58 Chrysler 300 D [one of the few Bendix EFI cars produced, needing restoration]
'59 Plymouth airport limousine [needing restoration]
'59 Dodge Custom Royal hardtop [survivor showing some wear and tear]
'59 Desoto Firesweep convertible [needing restoration]
'59 Plymouth Sport Fury convertible [restoration in progress]

I'll post a few photos.

Glad to see you here John. I knew you had some nice cars but the pictures you posted blew me away...... I like that 58 Suburban.

You need to post some pics of your 59 Fury vert project, including what you started with... Folks here would love that.

Will.

While I have bought a lot of parts from you, now I can put a face with a name. I appreciate seeing your cars as well - very very nice!

Well, since Forward Look cars are more accepted on this site now, I might as well show the three that I have at the request of some who suggested I am holding out. One is a project 1958 Dodge Regal Lancer that is complete and virtually no rust, but needs everything, another is a 1957 Chrysler 300C that I restored (with some help from John at Big M - same images as on the post for the beautiful 1957 Desoto herein), and an original low mileage 1960 Chrysler 300F that is unrestored and was owned by a good friend of mine who bought it new but has since passed away. While I like the Forward Look cars, I also like the later C bodies as well. Chrysler made some of the most daring and beautiful cars ever in my opinion with relatively advanced engineering compared to the others.
