1962 Dodge Dart. Shediac, New Brunswick

This car has Florida plates, and spent some time on a military base in Hawaii, but I saw it for sale in Shediac, New Brunswick, on the Acadian shore. Those Chrysler Corp. cars of the early Sixties were remarkable-looking beasts. The designer, legendary Virgil Exner, king of fins, called the post-1962 cars "the plucked chickens" after his original concepts were downsized in a haphazard way by scared suits at Chrysler.
