Swinger rarity...

When I was a little boy my oldest brother bought a brand new 69 swinger 340, 4 speed car. He's 14 years my elder. He still talks about that car but I don't remember him having it for very long. I do remember putting down the quarter window and it starting to rain. when I tried to roll it up it wouldn't go. He yelled at me like it was my fault and pulled over for my other brother to get out of the passenger seat and help me. It was broken and wouldn't go up. Damn he was mad.
Not sure about the fitnfinish back then but the marketing for "A" bodies seemed more towards Moms and kids or as an economical grocerie getter with some cool factor...thus swinger.
My dad swore by the slant 6 and we had a few valiants...the last being a 76. The Chrysler reputation as a strongly reliable family based auto for the majority was it's staple IMHO.
