There's an old saying, "Politicians, ugly buildings and prostitutes all gain respectability with age." Maybe the same can be said for the 61 Plymouth?

No way! I LOVE the 61 Plymouths....especially the 2-door hardtops...beer or no beer. The Martians have landed and are driving amongst us! I almost bought one just a year ago, but it was way up in Oregon, and I'm near the Missouri Ozarks. Just too far for me to deal with. (I'll admit, though, that none of my friends agree with me on the beauty of these beasts....) ;-) Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 8:53 AM Subject: Re: [FWDLK] Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. > Come on now that is a neat car.
