Default Re: Manhattan Speed Parts '1968 Hemi Dart'

Part IV

The Manhattan - LO23 Dart

What Al Ripolla remembers,

Is that Pete M***** was taken to the Chrysler Fleet Service Garage
on 57th Street, and was shown the Super Stock Hemi Dart.

The car came to New York with the other 1968 Dodge cars that were to be showcased on display at the New York Auto Show.

The guess here, is that the LO23 Dart left Detroit in mid-late March with
the other 'Display Cars' from the Chicago Auto Show, which had
ended on March 4, 1968.

So the 'time frame' is accurate, as the LO23 Dart that was shipped to
Manhattan, New York City was from the 1st LO23 Production run of
cars.
