Morro Bay Car Show Pics

[woodie49]

Morro Bay, on the Central Coast of California, has an annual car show.

Here are a few pics of some MOPAR product there. I especially like the Plymouth Fury with the cross-ram set-up.

Wow I love that 55. Same 3 colors but a different order then the one I had. Mine was pink bottom black middle white roof.

Nice cars and thanks for posting. Especially like the '49 which had the coolest dashes.

At first glance I thought that color scheme might mean it's a "La Femme"

model.

But they were different from that.

Some background on the La Femme........

The La Femme's Raison D'être stemmed from Chrysler's marketing department's observation that more and more women were taking interest in automobiles during the 1950s, and that women’s opinions on which color car to buy was becoming part of the decision making process for couples buying an automobile. The La Femme was an attempt to gain a foothold in the women's automobile market.

The La Femme concept was based upon two Chrysler show cars from the 1954 season

Here's a '56 model La Femme currently sitting in a field in southern Missouri, about 2 hours from here.

Not for sale.
