That's what I felt like after stumbling onto this automotive candyland. After my last stop installing a pc for my department's Veterans Affairs rep located downtown on 2 Avenue South between 12th and 13th streets in Birmingham, I was loading up the van (in the background of the first pic) to return home after a couple of days on the road when I look across the street to see this sweet looking blue Imperial convertible
At the time there were a couple of fellows looking under the hood of a Durango parked next to the Chrysler so I walked over to see if I could take some pics. We spoke for a couple of minutes when another older man came out and was introduced as the person who really likes to speak Mopar
He tells me of a nearby warehouse holding over 200 older Mopars including a nearly 20 year run of Chrysler 300 convertibles, a convertible Plymouth covering every year fron 1947 through 1969 (including a 63 Max-Wedge convert
) and many other DeSotos, Chryslers, etc.
Hey I take folks at their word and after seeing these vehicles today, who am I to balk??
Anyways as we can tell by the few pics i took before my senses went numb, there's all manner of cars in various stages of work. Resto, Mods, Rods, Auto-Xers, exotics, 1920s and up. It was hard to take it all in
The oldest is the 1925 Buick which I was told was one of two and the most valuable I imagine was the Supercharged Auburn Boattail Speedster, but I kind of liked the coupe in the process of being chopped, frenched, and lowered. Like i said, candyland.
And yes, I do plan on taking the man up on his offer to see these hundreds of old Mopars and will certainly post those pics
