Default 1960 Chrysler Le Baron Imperial

On a trip out to Mount Vernon, VA to visit George Washington's home I spotted this beauty and her owner just hangin out. After stopping to chat him up about his car he drew quite a crowd of people all commenting and asking questions about the car. The most interesting feature of the car I thought was the front "swivel seats" that he explained were designed with the idea that ladies who were driving might be in short skirts and didn't want to risk showing off more than the car!! A'la Britney Spears. The other interesting feature I thought was the rear taillights. Pretty neat.

I took a few pictures and thought I'd share them with the group. Please do a google search on this car, it's pretty interesting.

Here's a few pics:

Yep, this car is from Chrysler's glory days. Chrysler was considered a high end quality automobile until the 70's.

It's so funny you said that, the fins were the first thing I saw. I said "look at the fins on her". My wife thought I said "look at the pins on her" and I got a slap to the shoulder before she saw what I was talking about.

Xfireguy, Just to be on the safe side, maybe you better not tell your wife about Cadillacs with "Dagmars".


Google: "Dagmars"
