    It is a 1960 Imperial.....It is a long way to the center of roof and had to stretch....
    Here are a couple of pictures of a 1959 Chrysler 300 I worked on...

    Chrysler meant it with that 150 MPH speedo too. One of the smoothest rockets ever made. If my dad was around, you guys would have some good times and tall tales.:thumbs2:

    Beautiful workmanship. A treat to see them.:)

    The Chrysler 300's would do 144 MPH right of the showroom floor in 59...

    In 57 they did 127 MPH at the flying mile in Daytona....

    Erics 57 also had quad headlight's...

    Exner's styling was so far ahead of GM or Ford in the late 50's, it ain't funny. look at how clean that Chrysler is........nothing on it that detracts from the overall style of the car.

    FF, to me the Airflow has the only grille from the 30's that really defined the car's lines. They were all using that nose, but the Airflow, made it Flow into it's lines. Real class.

    You know it's cruel to have so many 300's on one thread, let alone two in front of his home. And you're stroking that other one. My whore-moans are going nuts.:taz::party4::whip::bowdown:
