    curiosity made an argument!

    I have to go with the 63-66 Darts. something about having four doors on a Mopar. I really enjoy the thought of piling into a dart and rolling down the road with 4 friends so we can "Chinese Fire drill" and then tear off down the road in Mopar style.

    I Have 1974 Plymouth Gold Duster, it is the Original off white with the Vynal roof. Because of where I live(Washington state) we have a large amount of Polin floating in the air and that seems to have taken up residence in my paint. I assume that with a goot Buffing that it would come out. I...
