deathbound Posted March 11, 2015 Report Posted March 11, 2015 Welcome & as said, VERY nice car. Maybe member DodgeB4ya will chime in on the production #'s. Also, maybe you should've changed your name to "Chrysler John" for this forum...... Quote

BobT-47P15 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 The number of old Chrysler product owners in the U K has been inching up over the past few years. I suspect you are still pretty much a minority.......but you fellows all have some nice looking Mopars. Keep us informed on your doings along the way. Welcome Buick John. (see......this time he didn't buy a Buick) 1 Quote
White Spyder Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 Nice to have another Windsor jooin the group! I sooo want to find a set of cowl mirrors lik the ones on your car. They seem to be quite rare. the red lettering on the hubcaps also gives the car a suttle pop. Quote
Buick john Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Posted March 12, 2015 Bony-47p15 I still own the buick & love it. As to the Chrysler yes this 3 window I a minority for sure I will keep people informed of things that are happening rgds john Quote
Buick john Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Posted March 12, 2015 White spider I'm not sure if mirrors are rare to be honest as to the hub caps yes I agree a little pop not over done rgds john Quote

Dodgeb4ya Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 The mirrors are very hard to come by. They are usually found on the town and country cars as original equipment. They can be easily broken and thats usually why people are looking for one or more. A set of Jay Fishers repro's which are not made anymore sold on flea bay for around $850.00 Another guy is going to start making some sets of these mirrors. Will sell for around $1500.00 next fall to winter. Quote

Dodgeb4ya Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 .....and the right side mirror cannot even be seen when most needed!!! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) .....and the right side mirror cannot even be seen when most needed!!! that is why it is referred to me as bling bling..they are there to balance out the looks of the car..it was many years flash forward till practical useful mirrors became the norm..back in the day the wing mirrors were the practical application..not every car could pull off that look Edited March 12, 2015 by Plymouthy Adams Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 The right side is total bling. The drivers side works well. Just don't leave a car with them on it or they might not be on it in the AM! Quote
