The car you show is a '69. '64-'66 'Cudas were the "bubble window" variety, which would be clearly shown in the photo of grandma's car - if it had one. That, and grandma's car is clearly a sedan - a four door. All 'Cudas were coupes or ragtops - two doors.

Here is a bubble window 'Cuda, produced from '64 through '66.
Jeff you can knock off all the hostility in O.T. and keep it in PARF where it belongs. No one appreciates the hostility in an otherwise friendly forum.

I did not make any claim with the photo, that is all in your head (get it checked out).

It is a similar era car with similar features, and yes it was not a match, so what?

Just another random picture.

Dodge Coronado y 3700 GT
Autos del recuerdo: Dodge Coronado y 3700 GT



A pretty close match, right down to the wheels in that last one (directly above). Still not claiming it's a match, it is however up for discussion - some people take joy in this FYI.




The mini skirt car has been found, other cars have been posted by several members - people were having fun.

Dodge Coronado is too large, body creases in different spots and gas cap positioned too low. The wheels are provocative though, same make/supplier?

They look more plicated in the Falcon.

I am pretty sure neither of them wore miniskirts and they both loved Lawrence Welk not the Beatles.
I also confirmed with family that grandma lived for a time in a log cabin and shot at wolfs with a lever action rifle... and flew in a biplane... sad that current generations will not have stories of how badazz their grandmas were.

And I hate Lawrence Welk

On my mom's side that grandmothers father, my great grandpa fought Indians, and outlaws. He had a horse stolen by bad guys, he went to get it back, and the bad guys there were the brother of the town sheriff. My great grandpa was thrown in jail and some of his civil war buddies had to break him out and get back to Oklahoma.

Why all the reposts? eg. 94676, 94685

Don't really care, just curious if it is a 'puter glitch on my end.

My dad hitchhiked from Mass. to Los Angeles as a teenager, got a ride from a bank robber, they were chased down by the police and both were thrown in jail. The driver finally admitted my dad had nothing to do with the robbery but dad still had to call back to the small town he was from and had the sheriff vouch for him and the sheriff made him promise to head straight back home... he then continued hitchhiking to Los Angeles.
