Oddball Muscle Cars

My father in Law, (Drooze's Grandfather) loved that car. He drove it everywhere especially to Church on Sunday, and I rode in the back seat of that imperial at highway speeds, along with my then wife, and two sister in laws all fitting across the back seat, and with Mother in Law and Father in Law in front seat... That thing would roll as we left church and went down the highway to grab Sunday Lunch...

But he would also load up the trunk with plumbing tools and head out to a job that he was supervising... So that monster cruiser would certainly also tote a large load.

I hated driving it, as I couldnt get used to the front torsion bar suspension float, and it flat out scared me to drive it at high speeds. I think my father in law enjoyed seeing me white knuckled and scared so when we were going some place together he would often toss me the keys, and say, let's get there quick this time....

Not the first Mopar to scare me, and probably not the last.. ;-)
