Patpur you and I are the same age and I long for those days in the Sixties and Seventies when the new model year intro's were such an exciting time for car nuts. As you said, it was so nice to go into a dealer and sit down and order each and every little thing you wanted in a car. Remember having a CHOICE of several different interior colors to coordinate with the exterior? Go buy a new Dodge Challenger today. How many color choices do you have on the interior? I'm guessing one. At least in the Crossfire you had 4 interior color options and I did order mine with each option I wanted (there just happen to be several fewer to choose from). I'll never forget the unveiling of the 1965 Chevy Impala fastback on Bonanza on a Sunday night in 1964. They had the car sitting on the top of some rock all alone in the middle of no place. Had to be put there by helicopter or something. I think more people were tuning in to see the car that night than watch Bonanza. Those were the days.
