At least two of them have managed to find their way to Finland. I remember that years ago both were listed in the sales ads in the largest local American car magazine. Both listings did remember to tell that these are ve ry rare cars. Here’s one:

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.

That would be awesome. I just hope it still exists somewhere. It didn’t have its original engine (Papa blew it up on a trip to Florida), and being daily driven in  Chicago for eight years, it had to have some rust on it.
