I was going to follow up the Rover 3500 triple scoop with the terrifying '64 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt scoop, but then it became clear that we were having a Chrysler sort of a weekend. No problem- we'll return to the Thunderbolt another time.

It was with mixed emotions that read and hear Chrysler Corporation announcing reopening plants in Canada and the U.S. While I am sure many are elated that the plants will reopen and Union workers will be returning to work, for at least a short time, to assemble Chrysler Vehicles, many others are not.
