The Aspen Wagon

I grew up in Mopars hating them. Since I was an infant it's what we always had and I despised them. Now looking back I wish some of those cars were still around. In '69, the year I was born, my dad bought a new Dodge pickup with the 383 and push button automatic and a new 383 4 speed Road Runner. They sat on the hill behind the house till I was 12-13 before being sold for scrap. The Road Runner had been hit pretty hard in the drivers side quarter and still had the torque thrust smashed under the trunk over the axle with center knocked out. Insurance let him keep it and replaced it with a '70 'Cuda 383 4 speed that I have a story about I may share later. Anyhow flash forward to me being 16 and given the keys to a thoroughly rusted Aspen wagon with a slant six and woodgrain. Every kid should have to drive one and live down 5 miles of gravel, they'll appreciate every vehicle afterwards let me tell ya.

While I didn't get to keep any of the old metal it did lead me to getting the closest I could to dad's old 'Cuda in a modern car that you can see in my profile pic.

I really dig the pics everyone has posted.
 
My uncle Al was a die-hard Mopar guy....over the years, he owned a bunch of `em. When I was just a pup, he had an old "Business Coupe", which I assume was a traveling salesman`s car. Instead of a back seat, it just had like an abbreviated package shelf, the rest of the space was devoted to the HUGE trunk....I think you could fit about 12 bodies in there !

Later on he had a Chrysler Imperial (with a Hemi engine) that was the size of an aircraft carrier. Great cruisemobile, he loved to drive it at 110 mph down the Garden State Parkway, scaring the shit out of most of his passengers (except me....I loved it :thmbsp:)

His most memorable ride (to me) was a white Dodge Polara (`63 or `64 ?) that he had special-ordered, with a 413 Wedge motor, push-button Torqueflite trans, and Sure-Grip rear. He used to crack me up with that car....Mister Conservative Family Man in his undercover hotrod, looking for `57 Chevys to rip them a new A-hole....:D

Not quite yet considered a classic, but it's getting there. LOL

And just look at those body lines! - they just don't make 'em like they used to.:thmbsp:

sixt8mopar: I sure do hope you got enough cash for that Satellite to prevent some inbred from butchering it into a roadrunner-clone! The are just not enough original cars around anymore!

Here are a few:
