How come I can never find a cool job like that?

Here's a cleaned up and resized version of your photo. Hope you don't mind.

Pete,

Good photo enhancing......

Shirley Shahan and husband > H.L. Shahan

Cut a 'great deal' with Wynn's Oil Company {Azusa, California} as the primary
sponsor for 1967.

Chrysler 'worked' out the details with the Southern California Dodge Dealers in
covering the costs for the Shahan's 1967 Coronet 'Hemi'.

Plus + Plus = 'a very good income for 1967'.

Great deal and great pic. Thanks Paul.

My guess it was a WO23 Coronet 440 model with R/T emblems and trim. But then it could be a converted R/T which is unlikely due to its heaver weight.

Pete,

I think it was a Coronet R/T with the '426 Street Hemi'.

I'm pretty sure Shirley was running the car back in January 1967,
before the WO23 'Super Stock Packages' were released.

Also, here is a photo of the Trunk-Deck Lid, with the R/T deco
trim on the Trunk-Deck lid rear panel.




Most of the early SS/B and SS/BA 'Super Stockers' in 1967 added
the WO23 Hood, when it became available in mid-March 1967.

Paul, in a Mopar magazine interview Shirley she said it was a WO car and that they really had to get sneaky to get weight out of the car because it weighed so much from the Factory....no light weight parts!
