Plymouth. My dad had a '68 Roadrunner. Bought it new. He also had a '55 Chevy 4 door. I had a 2001 Mustang GT.

I had a 1962 Western Flyer with fat white wall tires and a 1 speed. I could get it up to 5 mph in a quarter of an hour. What a great ride.

Ain’t even watched it all 55 gonna loose … 🤦🏻‍♂️ I sat and corrected. Would have figured he would hit the wall after that … burn out ?? WTH was that ? Looked like either the road runner broke or the 55 seriously out classed it . Both of em nice rides but hands down I’d rather have a 55 Chevy than a road runner . Don’t care if the road runner is worth 3x the 55 . 55 is just one of my favorite cars .

[@PerrynBecky]

I know, that's like the old sitcom "Married with Children" where they kept calling Al Bundy's Plymouth Duster a DODGE. Although the Dodge Dart shared the same body, the grills and taillights are definitely and distinctly different from each other. When they would show the Duster's grill, it was a 72 Duster, not Dart grill. Even the hood on a 72 Duster was different than the 73-76 models, and the 72 Dart was a notchback body called "Dart Swinger". I used to be a huge fan of the A bodies, and had 7 Dusters and a Dart Swinger as a young man.
