"Just a few dollars a month more" Okay, say it's four dollars more per month. That's $48 per year. For five years for a car payment, that's $240 more. I think minimum wage was around $2 at the time, so that's 120 hours, or four straight weeks time. Sure, the man who owned that Chrysler wasn't making minimum wage, but "just a few dollars more" is no small sum. It'd be close to tens of dollars more to-day.
Growing up in the 80s, these Fuselage cars were considered the most obsolete of all the American dinosaur cars of the 70s. I mocked them mercilessly then; now I kind of like them. So hard to find a stock one these days.
Crazy to think the eighties people driving boxy, underpowered 85 mile an hour speedo cars would make fun of the flowing lines and powerful motors of the decades prior.
Those C body’s. So beautiful!!
Doug just died in April, age 86. No word of what happened to the car.
Probably traded in the next year.
love this stuff....this was the first generation of golfers who had to learn to sell products on TV and crossed over as actors
