A-bodies chasing cracks must have been where my old man learned to AIM for pot holes !
from 1966 on, and especially during my junkyard ownership days of 1972-1984, darts, dusters, swingers, valiants, and all manor of A-bodies were used and abused by my old man, sisters, and my brother.
it was usually on a rotational basis, as when one was crunched or broken, i supplied another.
when riding with my old man in one of his chryslers, when he hit a pot hole, we would give him the devil ! he always responded : "you don't feel those as bad in this as when you're driving that [insert A-body of choice here] !"
what a guy ! he totaled my 64 barracuda when i lent it to him to go to work, so i could service his chrysler [at the time].
it was to be expected when one let him borrow a car, you had a "repair" to do when it came back.
