The Car That Chrysler Should Have Built DSC_4075.jpg DSC_4076.jpg DSC_4074.jpg Yes, it's true: After 25 years of restoration, and ownership - Tom Fox is selling his "Golden Fin" 1959 Sport Fury.

Great job, Art. Both on the headliner, and posting pix!

It's great to hear your success story, Art. It would also be great to see pix! If you have difficulty in posting them, send them to me and I'll be happy to in this thread.

Happy Holidays!

Just sayin'.

Carlisle 2020 - check it.

A Christmas miracle! Someone happened to see my post on the Boise community forum, asking about a Hessing-Thurber deck lid medallion. He had removed one years ago from a car he no longer owns. I shared with him Faulkner's story , and he decided the medallion belonged with me! We negotiated the price...
