Location: Dundalk, Maryland, USA | Hey everyone. From 1996-2000, me and my dad had a 1960 Plymouth Fury 4dr ht. that we worked on. We got rid of it in January 2001. Anyways, I used to show it at local car shows, etc throughout Maryland. There was a guy who owned a white 1957 Chrysler Saratoga. He used to show it in some local shows as well. he was from somewhere in Maryland. I was just wandering if he posts here and how has the car came along? What does it look like now? His car had alot more potential then mine, for it didnt need as much work done to it. Anyways, if any of you know who he is or if the guy himself is reading this thread, how is the car coming along?

| Greetings,
New to the forum. Saw the 57 Saratoga in the title of this thread so thought I would post here first. I'm not the guy you've all mentioned, but I do have a 57 Saratoga. In fact, its my second one. Got the first one when the car was only a young 15 years old. Drove it for a few years (California desert) and when the lower seal of the power steering unit went out, couldn't find a replacement. Bought a 67 slant six Valiant to get through the rest of college and into the Navy. While on a cruise, the 57 went away cause Mom didn't want the car in her driveway. I was young and didn't have the means to keep two cars since I was on board a ship cruisin' the Mediterranean. So it went to the junkyard.
Fast forward 36 years and after 10 years of searching, found number two. It arrived here in Northern Virginia last year. Just now getting started in getting it back into 'better' running condition. First thing is to get the brakes working. Sort of important I think to be able to adequately stop a 4600 lbs solid steel vehicle when driving amongst the lighter, newer cars.
I'm just now starting to put together a website together to chronicle the restoration. Its at http://www.buggler.net/57%5FSaratoga/
