How about the old Chrysler land yachts? Anyone?

I grew up driving a big C Body Dodge. I love the big road cruisers.  Although some of them are too big.  Was it the 71 or 72 Chrysler or Plymouth, that was a huge car, a guy at my high school had one, it was bigger than my 64 Custom 880 Dodge.  Love the lines on a 67-68 Polara 2 drs, and the brutal looks of a 72? Monaco, the hidden headlight version.  I wouldnt mind a 67-68 Fury either.  But some of the earlier cars were hideous, 60-61 Fury for one, some of those late 50's early 60's Dodgess too

mom had a 72 new yorker when growing up 440 dark grey with black vynal top fast car. monster big with huge bumper in back and wrap around bumper in front. loved goin on dates in that car. then in 73 got my 68 charger and it was all over for the other models. but that land yacht was really cool to drive.

This is tough...because there are SO MANY I DON'T LIKE!!
1.  I agree, early Barracudas - firstly because they have that "tacked-on" greenhouse! The 67-69 versions were MUCH better looking!

2.  Any E body from 72-74 - That GAWDAWFUL sad mouth grille and the "Marty Feldman" tailights on the Challenger, the "Porky Pig" tail lights and shitty grille on the Barracuda, and don't get me started on those big rubber boobs! Everytime I see one of those cars I mentally strip the 72-74 components off of them and try to picture them as 70-71s.

3. Any and all Chrysler products from 1959-1963. I think they dropped the ball when they shelved the Hemi, and the styling!!! WHOOOAAA!!! Who knew marijuana was so prevalent in the styling studios of Chrysler!? I'm certain what's his name....was it Elwood Engel? or was it Virgil Exner that was an ALIEN??!! Frig! Who else would put a damned TOILET SEAT on the back of a car?? I remember being a little kid, and I mean four or five years old, and being totally disgusted seeing one of those cars driving by! And time hasn't changed my opinion!

4. 1966-1967 Coronets and Belvederes!! I really do dig the GTX and R/T versions of these cars - but those shitty rear wheelwells (which look like fender skirts!) really just ruins the effect for me! The 1966-67 Chargers really had it right! (Obviously the designers took a page from the 1955 Chevrolet Nomad school of thought!)

5. Pretty well ANY and ALL fourdoor Mopars can report to the recycle bin to be summarily stripped for parts!! And if you restore a four door car, consider yourself to be a LOSER! If you restore an A body four door, than you're a DOUBLE LOSER!
