Chrysler Windsor
This was what a famous journalist for a carmagazine said:
Permit me to present the stealth bomber of hump chariots
- The Chrysler Windsor. A technological wonder of its day,
the Windsor employed cutting-edge rigid-frame design and forged
steel joint welding to channel thunderous vibrations from its
mighty V8 directly into the sensitive nether regions of unsuspecting
passengers. Why, my own mother affectionately referred to it as
"The Koochie Jingler!"
