Hi All, I thought I would introduce myself to the group. My name is Jim Harris in the Seattle area. My Forward Look car is a 58 Dodge Custom Royal Convertible. Red with white two tone. The car has 70,000 mi. with original interior including door panels, Connie and I first saw the car at Fall Hershey in 1994. It was decided on the ride home that I would sell my 60 Imperial Ghia and purchase the Dodge. The Car was delivered to our home in Seattle in Feb of 95. Since the purchase I have upgraded some of the chrome trim and found a set of NOS exhaust tips and a NOS d500 emblem. I broke the engine in 97 so we pulled it and rebuilt to super d500 specs. At the same time the engine compartment was detailed. I have also installed a set of WW radials, I know they aren't correct but I would never go back to bias tires for freeway driving in the Seattle area. Those of you who subscribe to Car Collector Magazine have probably seen our car. It was in the December 99 issue. My 58 dodge thing goes back to Dec. 57 when my Dad bought a new Coronet d500 convertible. Connie and I bought a used c/r convert in 61 that was used as our family car. When I got involved in the old car hobby in 76 I set out to find another 58 convert. well guess what it only took 19 years to find the one! I'm presently repainting and doing a cosmetic clean up on our 68 Imperial convertible. Another nice orig. mopar. Feel free to email me at jimconniemopar@xxxxxxx Thanks, Jim Harris |
