Pair of 1961 Chryslers

Both NEOs, the sedan, a Windsor pillared sedan and a Newport pillarless station wagon. Interesting cars but can't believe people actually bought and drove cars this gargantuan 58 years ago. How big were their garages?

They were full-size cars, but other cars from that era were as much as a foot longer.

I hope you didn't think I built these

They're straight out of the boxes. But I did do this smaller Chrysler, a PT Cruiser woody and am working on a convertible.

These are nice; I have them too. Neo did a decent job - no warping.

You should just keep quiet, John, and bask in the glory.
