    Continuing on with the Mopar Quick Shift Thursday, here is another example of a classic late 60s Mopar.

    Continuing on with Mopar Quick Shift Thursday, I spotted this car, the very definition of Malaise, only without a hint of Brown anywhere. Many of you know that I go crazy for Malaise Mobiles, and this Dodge was no exception. So let’s discover the Diplomat, by Dodge….

    Welcome to another installment of Mopar Quick Shift Thursday, where I bring as many of these glorious Mopars I found at a local car show this past weekend.

    While attending a local car show this past Sunday, I was able to capture this very unusual Matador. I like the quirky AMCs of this era, with their distinctive roof lines, to the intricate details of the interior. This would be a car I would love to own, but there are so many others before…
