Hello, I have the opportunity to buy a set of 6 long drink glasses with the Chrysler pentastar logo on them. Does someone know something about those?

It's a '53 or a '54. Can't tell which one.

Keep on saving them !!

Or it could be simply a defect in the steel that lead to breakage under certain conditions. It's a known failure for steel parts. You just need an imperfection, or an inclusion, and that can be the perfect start for a crack, than a breakage. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I think about the same ... But that trend started years ago, when some brands that were recognized as luxury car brands started to make SUV and pickup trucks. Cadillac Escalade ???? Lincoln Navigator ???? WTF !!!

It does show that workmanship in the factories at the time was below par. Quality control was indeed nonexistent. They just did not care. The Big Three knew they could get away with it (and it would get worse in the '70s). I always find amusing when people complain about bad workmanship on...

He was a very naughty boy !!

More like C64 old :)

Old computers. And trying to code games on them. I was a teenager in the '80s, so that explains a lot. Model trains. But I lack the space to build my tracks, so they stay in boxes. I have a NYC 20th Century Limited consist in HO scale. Comics. I buy them. A lot. Too much.

Belgium. It's a very small european country (some say boring). Mostly cold and rainy throughout the year. Let's just say we have a weather that could easily be compared to the one in Seattle. Now, here is below the latest forecast for Thursday. That 39°C you're reading on the map translates...

I did the same, but in reverse. First the autobiography of Iacocca (in 1985), then the John DeLorean book (in 1996). I agree, it's a great dive in the US automotive industry from the "Golden Years".

If everything goes well, you'll have a '70 Sport Fury from Belgium next year ! :)

Yep ... Me too. And I would be interested in the driver window also, if it is tinted.

Not an american plant. A french one. We build intermediate vans for Peugeot, Citroen, Toyota, Opel and Vauxhall.

I work everyday in a car assembly plant, and I can assure you there's no golf carts around ... If you have to get somewhere, you walk !

Gee whiz !! That was filmed at the Spa-Francorchamps race track here in Belgium ! One of the best race track in the world, just 2 hours away from where I live. :thumbsup:

Actually the average price of gas in 1960 was $0.31, and according to this page : Gas Price in 1960, it amounts to $2.60 in 2018. Given that the current average actual price is around $2.83 (https://gasprices.aaa.com/), the price has only gone up 9% in almost 60 years. Conserving oil may no...

Yep mine too !

FYI, the Forward Look era cars are generally considered to be from 1955 to 1961, for that matter.

Yes that Citroën SM had a central hydraulic system that powered everything hydraulic, but it was not the first one to do so. The first one was the Citroën DS, introduced in 1955 ! Granted, they were not delivered to customers before 1957 but still ... It even powered the windows.
