<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: K code Mustang</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Steve, your Charger was a connection between myself, my father, my grandfather and other family member who worked on it at Suburban Dodge. When I came across the folder for your car, I shared it with my dad, grandfather and uncles. The stories they all told were priceless and will never forget the time we had together just sharing a common interest. I am glad to see that your son has the interest in learning about his great grandfather. The time you are spending with him now will stay with him forever. </div></div>

Thanks John. We all have a lot of good memories with that car. We should have a &quot;family reunion.&quot; We can have it inside the Lincoln. Everyone could fit.

No, we don't throw anything away. My dad was cleaning out my old room the other day and found the original odometer statement from that 1971 hemicuda convertible I sold back in 1987. So I need to send that to the present owner.

pretty great that you have this car. I have my Grandfathers 64 Corvette Coupe that he bought new in '64. That lincoln is badass.....

The reproduction license plate arrived today from www.licenseplates.tv. TV-77 was my grandfather's plate issued by the State of New York. the official &quot;TV&quot; plates were specifically issued to television station employees, similar to the official &quot;PRESS&quot; plates they have today. Since WABC was 77 on the AM dial, he chose that plate early in his career and kept it for decades. When he officially retired he had to turn the plates in, which didn't make him too happy at the time. So now his car has its (new) old plate back again. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
