...quite a few years ago I attended a car show in Fort Wayne Indiana....I was looking for a CUDA to buy that day and came across this one....it was a 440-6 PAK/AT....Curious Yellow, Shaker hood, rubber bumpers,Billboard Stripes, window louvers etc etc....it had virtually every option a CUDA could have...it also had a very early serial number....seems DC made several of these cars for the dealers to have in the showrooms when the "Rapid Transit" show cars arrived at their dealership...big stuff in 1971.... ...the car was used for this calendar shoot, 1988 or so,.... I have no idea who the girl is, but what was really strange, she looked EXACTLY like a girl I dated in highschool...I thought it was her on the calendar.......the car had an interesting history, it was raced at Bonneville by Chrysler which explained the extensive salt damage 20 years later....it finally ended up on its belly in the mud on the Ohio riverbank, after it had been robbed of most of it's rare and valuable parts....it was restored by a friend of mine I bought the car from....last time I saw it was at the MOPAR Nationals a few years ago.....the car was a true mechanical a$$hole... Cookie, or this girl ...hmmmmmm

the vin on mine would have been ...BS23V1B100105... after I bought mine, I found out there were about 20 consecutive Vin numbers that the cars were all identical....at one time I had a list of the existing vin# and where they all were...long time ago...didn't see the one at Woodward...
