LeBaron Was a Fun Chrysler

I spotted this 1983 Chrysler LeBaron in a parking lot in Stratford on the weekend. In one of the photos, the owner is shown with her car which had been a gift to her mother from her father in 1983. The current owner uses it a lot in summer and often has the convertible top down. One unique feature of the car is the simulated wood panelling on the sides.

I am a 72-year-old retired journalist, busy recovering from a lifelong career as an unretired journalist. This year marks a half century of my scratching out little fables about life. My interests include genealogy, humour and music. I live in a little blue shack in Canada and spend most of my time trying to stay out of trouble. I am not that good at it. I also spent years teaching journalism. Poor state of journalism today: My fault. I have a family I don't deserve, a dog that adores me, and two cars the junk yard refuses to accept. My prized possessions include my old guitar and a razor my Dad gave me when I was 14 and which I still use when I bother to shave. Oh, and my great-great-grandfather's blackthorn stick he brought from Ireland in the 1850s. I have only one opinion but it is a good one: People take too many showers.
