I love them all but I want that power wagon!

Beautiful cars! I was there, possibly not at the same time as you, but in the same area. Red 66 T&C wagon.

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. (It was used as a daily-driver commuter car, believe it or not!) It was in nice shape, and it was that same light green color as the '59 Chrysler shown here (single tone--"Ballad Green"?) I always wonder what happened to that car.

That tan '60 Dodge is just OUT OF THIS WORLD--Makes my '60 Dart look tame and restrained!

I couldn't get there until Sunday, I was hanging out with DetMatt at the Woodward show. Unfortunately it rained all day Sunday, I was able to get some photos of the diehard C-bodies that did attend.

Do you happen to know more about / have more photos of this blue 1970 Newport convertible? The tag would be nice

Thank you very much! Paging Mr. Gus Chios... The next time, would be great to get the fender tag and/or VIN.

Meanwhile, thanks to your photos, I found the car and her owner in 2022:

️1970 Chrysler Newport – Gus Chios – COUNTRY CRUIZIN'

 

[MoPar~Man]

I had a look around the net for Gus Chios, I didn't find much and nothing really outside of 2022 time-frame. Seems to have retired from Ford, which if you're talking London Ontario that would have been the Talbotville plant which closed in 2011. He seems to have or had the handle 1971beeman on instagram, seems that he did own both the Newport and a Superbee, no profile on fecebook it seems. The license plate "Traitor" might hint at him working at Ford but being a Mopar guy at heart. The photos of him with the Newport at the Country Cruzin site happened at the Plunkett estate, which I know of but have never been, but if these are happening every thursday in the summer then I'll likely bring my Monaco there this year, it's only a few miles from me.
