Mopar ads for 1926 Chrysler and Dodge cars
When's the last time you heard of a Chrysler 58 or 70? And I don't think I've heard of a Dodge Model A
Not once, but twice. Chrysler warranties Ford parts
Once when Chrysler acquired the parent company of the Sunbeam Tiger ( covered elsewhere in this blog ), and I just learned from http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2007/03/29/here-is-a-ford-flathead-you-dont-see-every-day/ that Ford owned and sold a car factory in France named Poissy, to Simca, who was acquired by Chrysler, who was then warrantying the Ford powerplants in the Simca's they now made. Huh.
The historical Chrysler factory warranty of Ford cars
The Tiger was an upgraded sportscar model from the base Sunbeam, made by a British company... Alpine. The company was a subdivision of the Rootes group which Chrysler bought and then had to warranty the Ford engine and trans. Now that's got to be unique among the big 3. http://www.sunbeamtiger.co.uk/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbeam_Tiger
1954 Desoto Adventurer II, Body and style by Ghia
Located in the San Diego suburb of La Mesa, on El Cahon Blvd east of the 70th St intersection is a terrific car museum called "The San Diego Collection". Owned by the guy who owns Charco Construction, he really throughs a terrific show when he brings some cars to local public car shows. I saw a few he brought to the Coronado Car Show in the summer of '04.
7215 El Cahon Blvd 619 667-3136 to make sure you'll get there during business hours. Worth the trip! I've met a couple of the museum guys when they were at other San Diego car shows like the El Cahon wed night cruise. Great guys, and a terrific museum.
Sliding rear window... such a cool thing to have. In the 50's, Chyrsler was trying to wrench customers from the competition with Italian styled cars, like I mentioned in http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/12/1954-dodge-fire-arrows-up-for-auction.html#links and http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/12/1958-prototype-ron-reagan-lost-his-in.html#links
