Keys for my 1962 Valiant V-200 4-door sedan:keys.jpg

Notice how in 1962 the Chrysler dealer also had to sell Ford and Lincoln-Mercury products in order to stay in business in this small town.

The Dodge Brothers had been a popular car in Placerville in the teens and twenties due to its ruggedness, but during and after the Depression Chrysler really lost sales to Ford and GM here.

Then Chrysler opened a big dealership near here in the '90s, in Shingle Springs (in order not to pay city sales tax), but it had to be shut down by the state tax authorities for not paying registration fees and not transferring titles.

Now the nearest Chrysler dealership is about 20 miles away.
