    Here’s an old Mopar story I thought was pretty cool.

    Last week end I attended my Uncles 85th Birthday celebration. He likes old cars so I drove my 48 Dodge club coupe to show him. He tells me he had one just like it a long time ago. He also tells me about how they rolled it one night returning from the drive in but he wasn’t driving. My Aunt was along for that ride too and no one was hurt. I ask if the doors popped open and they said no. They kicked out the windshield to get out of the car. The Dodge was repaired.

    Neither one could tell me what movie they saw that night.

    The B & W photo is from 1953 Rosemary and car 1.jpg

    They say they don' remember because it was such a long time ago...... I just let it go at that.

    That is a great story! The side-by-side photo's are fun to look at....I'm pretty sure your car in their presence brought some much loved memories for both of them during the event....thanks for sharing:)

    I think my wife and I saw the same movie when it was re released!

    Nice opportunity for them to share the memories!
