Alaskan T/A....
« on: August 20, 2008 - 10:31:58 PM »
Barry, your box is full

...last week at Woodward, I was on a little side trip to the Chrysler Museum and as we came out of the museum, a couple of guys were looking over my 08 Challenger....one was Ken Dabrowski, he says he was on the original design team for the 1970 Challenger but apparently spent most of his automotive career with Ford...I let him drive my Challenger on Featherstone and he seemed to really like the new Challenger...have you any records of him, or pix of him during his Chrysler days, 1968 or so....I can't believe I was so stupid I didn't even think of taking a picture...he said he was responsible for the name "SIX PACK" and the "Bumble Bee" stripe among other things....a very interesting person

...side note, a friend of mine has the original hand carved "Pistol Grip" shifter prototype

Hey Larry,
I keep my PM box full on purpose beause I can not shut it off. I prefer email for a few reasons.  :thumbsup:

I have not heard of your new pal, but it would be great to talk to him some time. I would love to see a photo of the wooden prototype!

I heard that you were at Carlisle, sorry I missed you. Jeffery Coe was there as well, did you get to meet him?
