MrObsessive Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Those were all new '56's. Great pic as it's nice to see this in living color and not black and white!
espo Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Great looking picture. On a personal note, the ladies hair style is about what I remember my mother wearing at about this same time period..
gtx6970 Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 May seem morbid. But I look at pictures like this and wonder. Odds are the parents are both gone. The little girl would be in her mid 60s I guess . Wonder if shes still around

But I look at pictures like this and wonder A while back my wife and I were at a pub for dinner and there was an ancient photo framed on the wall I was facing.. it was a class photo from 1914. I couldn’t stop looking at it. Knowing they were all dead now, but there they were all young, smiling and ready to take on the world. You have to wonder how they all made out

You have to wonder how they all made out About 25 years ago when my mother passed away my sister and I gathered up all of her old family pictures and were dividing them between us. At that time my wife and I had only been married a few years and had never seen any pictures of myself in my teens and early twenties. She was looking over my sisters shoulder as she explained to her who each person was. A picture of myself as a young slim man with thick hair leaning against my convertible came up and she raised her voice and said "Who is that ?" . Well we all had a good laugh and I was told to grow may hair back and lose some weight.

StevenGuthmiller Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Looks like white, light green & coral were pretty popular colors on the '56 Chryslers! Steve
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Lots of cool old dealership photos out there. Steve
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Here's a few cool ones for the Mopar guys. Steve Edited June 30, 2018 by StevenGuthmiller
MrObsessive Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Interesting! Would that happen to be an Australian '59 Ford (actually could be up to a '62)? I also see another Aussie Ford.........the Coral and off white '55 the third car in. That would be a show stopper on the contest tables..........a right hand drive '59 Ford or Chevy!

I didn't catch the right hand drive, but I assumed that they might have been Canadian or something. The '"V-8" emblem in the center of the '56 Ford grille was a give away to me. Plus the fact that the license plates are obviously not American. Steve

Whoa, nellie. Im not an expert. Just a Mopar fanatic that's been around Mopar Muscle cars pretty much my entire life. Edit, I'll add here. B9 wasn't a listed avail color on B body cars. But I'm not saying that particular paint color wasn't avail on a B-body. MOPAR did have a special order paint color program but it would carry a 999 paint code . And a friend of mine is well versed on Charger 500's and I dont remember him ever mentioning a 999 paint code car Edited July 2, 2018 by gtx6970
StevenGuthmiller Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) I know, this is a '68 & there is no way to know whether it is a factory applied color or not, but I cannot find any information that says that B9 Blue was not available on the Chargers. What am I missing? Steve Edited July 3, 2018 by StevenGuthmiller
gtx6970 Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Steve, B9 was avail on the full size cars. Not the intermediates Intermediates were B3 light blue metallic , B5 medium ( or sometimes called bright blue metallic) , and B7 Dark blue metallic In some literature the colors are referred to as Poly instead of metallic Mopar - the higher numeric number on the code = designates the darker the color is That 68 is probably EE1 , also a very dark blue ( I just restored one in the exact same color combo for a client last year ) In pictures EE1 and either B7 or maybe even B9 will be hard to tell apart unless looking at them in person . But trust me, they are VERY different if applied correctly Also, in regards to color availability . NONE of the exact same color tints avail in 1968 are the same as what was avail in 1969 ( its one of those weird Mopar things ) more info here http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/paintChipCharts/1969PaintChipCharts-01.shtml http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/colorAndTrim/1968/68_Charger0002.jpg Edited July 3, 2018 by gtx6970
gtx6970 Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 The model I built ( using the exact same paint the 1/1 is painted in ) and the actual car it represents
