Do you remember the Chrysler commercials featuring Ricardo Montalban? Everyone in the 70s could imitate his beautiful enunciation of the phrase "rich Corinthian leather."
Here is one that I found at a Goodwill down in Florida a few years ago. Of course, I couldn't take on an old car project at the time. But, I did snap a few pictures! It is quite a portrait of the 70s . . .
When was the last time you saw coach lights on a car to guide your entry at night. That is luxury ladies and gentlemen . . .
The car actually is the Cordoba. I thought it was the Cordova and that Ricardo Montalban was simply being exotic with his Spanish accent.
This thing is called a trunk. The Chrysler Cordoba could probably hold Jimmy Hoffa and several of his "associates."
I like the scroll work on the Cordoba's tail lights. It's a little over the top. But, it gives this vintage car a luxury touch.
Of course, whitewall tires are standard retro equipment. These look new.
Alas, here it is: The 1975 Chrysler Cordoba. Perhaps, it is a car that I should have bought!
