Location: Oconomowoc Wi | Found this cat in my home town, and wanted a bit of background before I went to talk to the owner.

Bart? You thinking about snagging this smoky blue baby?

Location: Oconomowoc Wi | Well for starters I'd talk him into joining our little disfunctional family here on FL, and Im sure its "for sale" status will come up in the conversation. |

Location: Oconomowoc Wi | I went back and talked with the owner of "BEULAH" ... a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker DeLuxe. The owner ( 3rd generation owner I may add ) is unlikely to sell the car any time soon.
A very solid and well optioned car. But rather than steal his thunder, I've invited Mark ( Rinehart ) to join ForwardLook.net and I expect that he'll be filling in the blanks for us on this car and its history.
I will supply a link to this thread in the email I send him and we should get a response soon.
I did do a quick video interview with Mark, but it was accidentily deleted, so I may go back and do it again, we'll see....
Another new FL member from Wisconsin, join me in welcoming Mark. |

Love to hear about cars that've been in the family since they rolled off the showroom floor. |

Location: NY & VT | What a car of dignified solid elegance! - they have a certain presence that the '57 and up FLs lack, I guess it's that "hewn from granite" blocky look they had in '55 and 56, enhanced in this case by the one color paint job... in any event a lovely car and a credit to the owners for its good care. |
