I am afraid of any copyright infringements in doing that as I did not take the picture; it was taken by a professional photographer under contract by Motor Trend.
Why do you drive a C-Body?

The "World of Wheels" ICS car show is going on in Birmingham this week end. The local Mopar club decided to make Mopar the feature car this year. They did well with a 31 car display.
They badgered me to death to enter Jazebelle but I've had my fill of these regemented indoor shows and declined. Of the 31 car displayed, there are no C bodys..... I'll have to take full responsibility for that I guess.

What I love about our cars, several have mentioned already. One that has been left out I wouldn't have ever met and chatted with all you knuckleheads, if I didn't own a c-body. :icon_super:
Seriously what I love our cars, that as a hobbyist, they are still a hidden gem. I like this crowd because you guys turn the wrenched too. I have no problem with the value of are cars staying level. It means that I can afford more in the future. I'll never be a flipper, so if I have more in the car then it's worth it doesn't matter, because it my car and my legacy.
It is a different crowd who have never physically touched the car, and who have the money to pay others to do the total restoration of the insanely priced cars. I still appreciate those cars and especially the good shops that do that work, but I have more in common with the guy who doesn't mind a little dirt under the fingernails.
Here's another Goldie shot with her second owner of nearly 40 years, still fighting the good fight.

I love that car............ so damn unique
Thanks Dave I am pretty fond of her myself. Add that to my list of why I drive a c-body they are unique, my '66 300 was honestly the first one I had seen. I have yet to have seen another in person.

I had a long reason why I love my car, but I couldn't post without reloading, and then it disappeared. I got mine after my father passed away in 1997.
All of the reasons listed above and because you can put 2 b body sized fenders, a couple doors, trunk lid etc in the trunk and close it. Not all at the same time of course.
Not sure if "parking" of the night time or country lane variety was mentioned .. way more room than b bodies and other cars
First car I ever drove was a 68 C New Yorker

I grew up in a Mopar family also. Dad drove wagons and Imperials until the last was manufactured in 75. He traded his gold 75 Lebaron for a lincoln and owned a couple of them.
When the Imperial was reintroduced in 81, he went to the dealership, saw one on the showroom floor and stated in disgust ..."Thats no damm Imperial", and walked away.

I just remembered too that after the Lincoln's my Dad went back to a mid 80's Park Avenue.
It was a beautiful car for the year

I got mine to save it from a guy who wanted to chop the top, on a 66 Polara! Was gonna flip it, bit after driving it, it grew on me more and more each time I took it out. 4 engines, 2 transmissions, rad cote support, splash pan, 2 bumpers, 3 grilles, and 2 dead deer later, and she's ready for more!

I was 18 when I owned my first 1970 Challenger convertible. Dad was a Buick guy. My buddy was into these "Mopars" whatever the heck that was and before I knew it I was hooked. In high school The CHEVY guys used to laugh at us, but we knew better. Owning a 70 300 vert just seems like a natural progression. Besides it was gifted to me by the same guy that got me hooked in the first place. Every time I open that hood or resurrect a part I'm 18 again.
