I haven't tested any brains lately so I found something new to rattle your brains. I only had 5 children at school today so I didn't get to enlighten anyone today. So today is your lucky day. Name famous people (politicians, actors, musicians) who have owned a Mopar. Any guesses????? Good luck!!:bootysha::bootysha:
 
Rik Smits, former NBA center was heavy into B-bodies. Our newest president had (has) a Chrysler 300 to his name. Bill Goldberg is a Mopar guy.
 
I believe Johnny Kelly (of Type O Negative) has a pretty nasty '70 Super Bee. I vaguely recall reading an interview somewhere that painted him as a Mopar guy from way back.
 
isn't David Spade a big Mopar guy, and yea, what Mopar or any car for that matter doesn't Leno own.
 
Frank Sinatra- 1957 chrysler and '81 Imperial
Johnny Cash- he said the best car he ever owned was a'54 Savoy. The family still has it.
J. Timberlake- Viper
Wayton Jennings- '69 "Generl Lee" given to him by the Dukes producers because he said how much he loved the car.
Snoop Dog-2004 300c
Richard Carpenter (The Carpenters group)- Has a large Mopar collection, Road Runners, Chargers, and Imperials.
Tom Cruise- Viper
David Hasselhoff-'95 Viper
Ben Affleck- Dodge Ram
Charlie Sheen- Dodge Viper
Kelsey Grammer- '93 Viper R/T
Tom Brady-Dodge Ram
Bob Hope-chose only Chrysler and liked them so much he became a sponsor for them.
There is more I am sure. But what the heck.
 
Dwight D Eisenhower 62 valiant, I believe it's in a museum.

I also heard Spade had a few Mopars, I'd like to know what he owns though.

They always seem to end up in his movies. But I've never seen a car linked to him.

He used to get his Honda fixed at the shop Restorations By Julius used to own. And there were always tons of Hemi and Six Pack Mopars being worked on there also.
 
For the Canadians out there that might remember....Big Sugar used to use early 70's B bodies in their videos in the 90's...
