Most blunt nosed eagle hood ornament anyone ever made is my guess, Chrysler Imperial, compared to a normal one

and the above was trumped by a badge... even less hood ornament like

compared to the below "proper" hood ornament

Yoopers will understand why I post this, Lake Superior in November? Bad idea, remember hearing Gordon Lightfoot's song about the Edmund Fitzgerald? "Gales of November" he sang of

it's rare that anything newsworthy happens in the yoop, and I'd never heard of this one.

In nov 1926 Chrysler tried to move one ship with 248 new cars through Lake Superior. You can see that the ship ran aground after losing power steering. The cars were unloaded and waited til February for roads to become passable so the cars could get to the nearest train station

1939 Chrysler Imperial

 the above interior shot worked out well, and the below radio shot shows the radio stations from WAAYYY back in the 40's. KFI is still on the air, or it sounds really familiar. The others I haven't heard of

 great matching luggage and radio

least expensive and very competitive way to get into vintage racing like the Mille Miglia, Le Mans Classic, and Targa Florio... or car events like the Grand National Roadster Show, a '29 Chrysler model 77 Le Mans Roadster

for less than $100,000, this Chrysler will get you access to the word's best historic rallies, races and tours and provide you with one of the most reliable, competitive and beautiful pre-war vehicles ever built!

This Chrysler is able to out perform and certainly able to out-brake the similar era Bentley, Alfa and Bugatti's with incredible reliability and simplicity and it does so at less than 1/10th the price!

Unlike the significantly more expensive Bentley-Bugatti-Alfas of the day, the Chrysler 77 featured full-four-wheel, self adjusting, double leading-shoe hydraulic brakes, both front and rear.  The front axle is tubular and under-slung giving both excellent handling and impossibly good braking that the owner's of the other three mentioned machines only dream about having!  This Chrysler "show-room" ready racer also features simple but full weather protection as well as a sporting, full-folding front wind-screen and an extremely user-friendly, four-speed gearbox rather than the compromising three-speed units usually found on many of the other machines of this era.

In short, this is an all "matching numbers" completely documented, rust and accident free, road-race-car that can be driven every day in the "rear world," toured with and rallied as well as raced competitively in the finest events world-wide.


And it's in need of a new home,

Another forgotten Mopar model, the Conquest TSI. Same as the Mitsubishi Starion, sure, but Mopar anyway. Fast from what I heard, a turbo blast

in 1986 it peaked with a 2.6 liter hemi, turbo charged and intercooled with a 5 speed manual, and had a aero-drag coefficient of .32. As slippery as a Dodge Neon. http://www.allpar.com/cars/chrysler/conquest.html

1964 World's Fair display, Uniroyal Tire ferris wheel and Chrysler's Engineering Island

Chrysler's Pop-Art pavilion was one of the largest at the Fair and one of the most imaginative and fun places to visit. An over-sized engine, 55 feet high and 100 feet long with a dragon for a crank shaft stood on one island for the visitor to explore. Its Design Island was dominated by a giant car, 80 feet long from bumper to bumper. Its wheels were more than 20 feet high. Beneath the car, which sat seven feet off the ground, was an exhibit area in which visual displays stressed the company's automotive styling.

If you want to browse through the 1964 Worlds Fair, there is a website (First link below) that has some of the pavilions on an internet tour, and informs us of where some of the artifacts went after the fair was over and they have located a few interesting ones, like the Long Island Railroad Display (the front end of an engine the back half of a caboose) which is in the process of being restored
