Call me crazy, but I sorta liked the Chrysler design language of that era. After decades of hideously ugly, over-designed, cars, it was a breath of fresh air.
And, yeah, ‘68 was a turning point. Because I want one of these big boys...
What followed in 69-70-71 was some of Chrysler’s best work.

My grandfather had one of them new . It was his DD until 1978, when he got a company car. I actually managed to track down the guy he sold it to, and he remembered who he had sold it to. The trail went cold there though.
