I am fond of chrysler products and they have come a long way. However during
the 60's and 70's you could almost hear those mopars rust. I learned how to
patch rust on my '76 dodge coronet. I baught that car with 30,000 miles on it
and sold it at 70,000 miles. During those couple of years it rusted to pieces.
Maybe it was a love of rust that brought these companies together.
