'63 Chrysler Newport, white 4 door. I bought it for $300 when I got back from Germany in '85. That car was bombproof. The radio didn't work, so I improvised by connecting the antenna (6 ft. whip, original equipment, I kid you not) to a Radio Shack DX-200 (I think). I think I had the only car I knew of that you could be driving down the street in Spokane and be listening top BBC shortwave.

(Photo isn't mine, but the color and type are correct.)
