Memoirs of a Swinger

Dart and Diplomat

On a car lot on Route 1 in Westerly, RI. I will reproduce the description on the front windshield verbatim:

For Sale. This vehicle is from the collection of Fine Antique Mopar Products of Fred. W. Smith. This classic is the iconic 1975 Dodge Dart Swinger 2 door hard top. It has the still famous Slant Six engine and has only 22,500 original miles. It is rare in that it has factory air condition that still works. It is priced out as $12,500. It is your chance to own one of the most reliable vehicles ever produced at an affordable price. There is a collection of things in the trunk that do not go with the car.

Ready for take off

It's not clear if the last line is a warning, a disclaimer, or a boast. Sadly, from your correspondent's POV, it's an automatic. Otherwise, you might have caught this icon of mid-seventies style and color cruising the BQE.
