I hate hats. All the photos of me at Carlisle last year I have a hat on..... my wife was insistent because of the potential of a sunburn .
Id rather have the sunburn!!!
Damned if you don't! Observant ain't I?
It's a good thing for you that you have a wife that's looking out for you.

I like your positive thinking!!
Boy, just what we needed, a lawyer.It just says "Old Man with a Hat".... Not necessarily wearing one...
You did just fine, all of your family I had the pleasure of meeting were great.
Thank you for that, like most of us you get the last word... even when it's "Yes dear".
I use the word cheap, like I have a choice. I suppose I am in fact "low budget"... Like most of us, I only have so much I can get away with spending. If I get too crazy spending on something I won't have the ability to do or spend on something else.
I'm not poor mouthing, and I love these cars... but I like lots of cars. Since the thread is "C Body truisms", I suppose one of my biggest truths is I can afford to play here. I got darned lucky to have what I have and I know it. I would still be looking for a car if I was after something in a higher value class. I have found other Formal Imperials and NYBs I could have owned, but they wouldn't have been better than what I have. If I were to have "settled" on a Fuselage or a Slab side beauty, I would have loved it too... but my Formal itch wouldn't have been scratched.

Frugal, selective, particular, realistic, conservative, thrifty, and a great looking bunch in those hats!

I know what's a bargain, what is fair, and what is overpriced.
Fair is a movable line depending on need.

Especially the ones that "Ran when parked six years ago". (That line still burns me up).

I hate hats ... unless i'm out in the sun for an extended period. Then I wear a booney hat to keep the sun off my nose, ears, and back of my neck and to keep sun and potentially rain out of my eyes. I was in FL last week and used my booney for both sun and rain
So much for the main topic I guess....
Maybe try moparts

OK back to the topic. It depends somewhat on where your are driving. It has been 30+ years since I was in Clawson, but if I remember, there is not a lot of heavy traffic. Dual master cylinders start to appeared throughout all Mopars in 1967. If you are driving in heavy traffic like I am in Chicago, you really appreciate power brakes, with disc up front. Also shoulder belts show up "standard" in the 70's. I like hardtops, none of the issue with a soft top, but all the air flow you can want. Find the best rust free car you can. You can replace glass and everything that is secured with a bolt or a nut, a rusted body and frame, not so much, plus painting now a day is expensive with all the regulations. Remember, there will always be another car out there, but if you find what you want, don't wait too long, buy it, scummy flippers will get it and jack up the price by several grand. From your avatar and comments, I think you would like a 67 - 68. Good luck and if you decide on a make/model, let us know so we can watch for you.
I own a 65 Fury and I do like it, but out of the years... if I had a choice I'd love to find a 65/66 300. I'm a sucker for interiors and they look good inside and out. They have to have the best dash out of any of them (well the Chrysler dashes as a whole... I think they all used the same dash). Tied for 1st would be a 70/71 Sport Fury. But I think they are all pretty cool.
It is a great dash, but for me, it's #2 to the '60-'62 Chrysler Astral Dome dash - the best in my opinion of all - I mean ALL, makes models, name it.
Sorry, I was referring just to the C bodies. If we are including forward look then yes, absolutely. Gorgeous, along with most of the FL cars, including the 61 Fury. The AstroDomes are great, but I also think the 1960 Imperial Dashes (not sure what the term would be for them) are amazing as well.
