Question for the group. Time line I think this was back early 90s give or take a few years .
BUT,,,,
Many ,,,,Many years ago. I looked at a 1969 GTX vert in South ( or maybe north ) Carolina area. Car was white with white interior. 440 auto. Owner had paper work stating the car was used in the Nixon presidential inauguration parade back in the day

PS, the owner had the original build sheet and printed right on it was
" SHIP TO FORRESTAL BUILDING , WASH DC "

Ring any bells here or anyone own or know or even remember the car . ?????
I have days I wished I had bought that car . simply for the cool factor of its history.

Best I remember the car was listed in Mopar Collectors guide ,,,,I think work

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

What’s the car on the far right with two cops in front of it? Looks like a b body rear taillight. Light color.


I want my fair share

I just saved the photo & enlarged it a bunch. Looks like a Mercury to me.

Looks like there might be something going on just to the left of center in the photograph.

Or maybe that's where the free donuts are. shruggy

It isn't donuts because two officers just standing nearby and one walking toward that area not running. And without blowing up pic I thought a lot of the cars looked like Mercury Monterys (sp?)

Go to 2:36. I'm not a GTX expert so I can't actually determine if that is one.

I'd say a Sort Satellite. I'd go for one of those C Body Verts.

A Sport Satellite would be a B body.

I *think* he's referring to the Monaco and Fury convertibles that drive by as well......

Hmm, No Imperials, would've figured with that many of Chryslers offerings present an Imperial or two should've snuck in wink

The B-body looks like a regular Satellite to me, because of the lower side moldings; note the reflection. Sport Satellites were pinstriped there.
Also, the trunk lid looks to me like it has the silver-painted recess, not the plated finish panel.

In roughly the same row as the 2 '66 Valiants if that is what they are, further to our right it looks like a '68 Imperial convertible.

Seems like quite a variety in year models, and Valiants in a presidential parade?


It takes gasoline to interest me.
