    Help needed!!!! 62 Newport

Talked to Booster Dewey today, and he's going to give my booster...

    Strange Request

    I have a 62' Chrysler Newport wagon with stock 14" rims, suspension, and radial tires. It doesn't have a roof rack but the high point of the roof in the rear is 56.5". I have seen different racks on them, so that may vary, but I would think 6" would be more than enough to allow.

    Looks nice! Looks like it was originally Coral Grey like my wagon. The dash pad is in amazing condition. Keep the kids away from it, the replacements are $800-$1,200!

    Fun at work last night

    When i was a kid in the 60's we were playing ball in the local neighborhood park. It was about half a city block, just big enough for kids up to 12 or so to hit a ball around. I was in right field, near the opening in the fence where the lawnmower truck could come in. Suddenly everyone started...

    1962 Chrysler Wagon

    Fantastic find! Looks like a nice solid body to start with. I have found that wagon-specific parts can be hard to find, but they are out there.....for a price. I love mine, i draws conversation everywhere I have parked it.

    Look like a good idea for keeping the car cool on those occasions that the dog gets to go along to the car show! Just my perspective.....

    I finally received the new dash pad from RD Autoline last week. It's a glorious work of art! I am quite pleased with the quality, and plan on installing it this coming week. I ordered this pad mid-May, and finally got it last week.

    Thanks for the advice, but this grease had the finger marks in it where the mechanic smeared it on everything. The backer plate, everything.... My son is a master mechanic and he just rolled his eyes when he opened that up and took a finger of the grease out. He said they used the wrong grease...
