Thank you everyone for the kind words and cogent observations. I can only check here once every few days, and so won't thank each of you individually, please please believe that I appreciate each and every response.
I had a Dart too...it wasn't the "Swinger", it was the "Demon" with a 340 cubic inch V8. Bought it from a little old lady in 1977 for $60. Last summer I thought I saw the exact same car at a car show for over $100,000 dollars. I knew I should have hung onto that car.............Oh, Good take on the assignment.
