@ Marilyn69monroe I love the cars from the fifties! Talk about style and design! Yes, and you will not see such a variety no longer in style. Today’s cars are demanding, but they all look like jelly beans. Aerodynamic, you know. But thanks for watching and commenting.
These cars from the late 1950s had more style, the cars of today days.
I’m going to change the mileage on the dialogue. Until next year and thank you here for driving your Chrysler.
Warren. Thank you for the contribution of a video of MY 56 St. Regis in Youtube. Just a small note, it has 9500 24.000 miles not original. Hope returned to the St. Charles will show next year. John
Thanks Jack! I had this car like a moth drawn to a light bulb.
Beautiful car, great job in Warren and videography!
