[Chrysler300] 1957 Explained

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

This is a good example of the music of 1957 that caused us to crank up the
sound to the point of vibrating the speaker grilles on our Chrysler 300C.
The Diamonds playin' wide open on KIOA  or WHB-AM, top and windows down,
pipes-a-talkin'.  Old timers will want to go back in time and the music may
help the whippersnappers to fully understand the cars of the '50's-it was
all about transport to new places at a new pace.


 

2 Performances 47 years apart 

If you were alive in 1957, and old enough to enjoy Rock and Roll, you will
probably remember the group, "The Diamonds" who had just launched their
super hit "Little Darlin' ". For you that are too young to remember - it was
a time when the performers were happy, enjoying themselves, respecting their
fans, dressed appropriately and their lyrics could be understood. They did
not feel obligated to scream, eat the microphone, mumble inaudible lyrics or
trash the set. 

In 1957, The Diamonds had a hit with "Little Darlin". 47 years later, they
were requested to perform at Atlantic City ... This link leads to both
performances. 

Watch the first one then scroll down for the new one 47 years later.

FYI - The lead singer of the Diamonds is also the father of Tom Hanks

 

Enjoy the trip!

1955 Chrysler C-300-Ready for the 2012 shows

1964 Chrysler 300K-coming along nicely-has an AM radio with a lunchbox sized
reverb unit behind the back seat-can't wait to hear '50's & '60's music with
adjustable reverberation.
