#2 So long, Chrysler. Ima gonna miss ye. Spend the rest of mah days romanticizing the Charger, Charger Daytona, Superbird, Challenger, Cuda, Road Runner, Super Bee and its little crash helmet wearin logo, Duster Twister, Dart Demon, Fury, 300, Imperial, Savoy, torsion bars, A body, B body, Dana 60, 727, 833, 340, 440, Hemi, Cummins, Pistol Grip, Tic Tach, Rapid Transit System. I'm sure there's more that I can't think of at the moment.

Put Jeep in good hands. The Wrangler is a piece of Americana.

Ya still own NHRA horsepower tho, and nobody can take that away from you.

And thank you for your efforts during WWII. Your country appreciates it.

#3 There may never be a better, more heartfelt Chrysler eulogy than Mike N's. The way he puts it, I don't want them to come back.

#5 Mike N-

You left out:

-Six-pack carb

-413 wedge

-426 hemi

-Power Wagon (the original, not the later version)

but other wise you got it right.

Agree on the Wrangler, it's a seventy year old concept that still works. Hope the Dakota survives, too, it's the only midsize pickup made today that has a V-8 option.

#6 Mike,

Don't forget the K Car - damn near a new Model T that saved Chrysler the last time. Unfortunately they left it in production too long...and it was there their troubles began.

#7 My first car was a 70 Dodge Dart Swinger. Slant 6, tonneau roof.

Put a lot of miles on it despite the gas crisis in 73. Alas, it got totalled when an idiot rammed into it trying to get out of the parking lot in a hurry one icy day.

#14 I will always remember that afternoon behind the wheel of my '64 Plymouth Valiant when the throttle return spring broke and the throttle locked in a full open position. Man, what a ride!
