Re: IML: California black license plates (Texas)

[aeyn <mr85000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just remember that a Fury is a PLYMOUTH, not a CHRYSLER.  A
Polara in a DODGE, not a CHRYSLER.  A 1975 LeBaron is an
Imperial, not a CHRYSLER.  HOWEVER, a 1985 LeBaron is a CHRYSLER,
because the Imperial line went bye-bye in 1975.  It is also the
reason that the 80's and 90's Imperial MODELS were coupes and
sedans respectively.  THERE IS a distinction between a MODEL LINE
and the MODELS in that line.  Don't let them tell you that
because the PLYMOUTH MODEL LINE no longer is made that ALL of the
cars which were made under that MODEL LINE name are now just
CHRYSLERS, (For example, the VOYAGER is now a CHRYSLER but many
previous years were made under the PLYMOUTH MODEL LINE.)
