<VV> 1941 Chrysler Turning Radius

[Bill H.]

My 69 coupe did not ride anywhere near as smoothly as this 66 Sport Sedan.  And the wheelbase and underpinnings are supposed to be exactly the same.  
Maybe it's just my imagination, but this one is VERY silky smooth...Bill

One the benefits of a fully independent suspension AND low unsprung weight of the suspension parts.

Honestly, this '66 Monza just glides over potholes and ruts!  I am VERY 
impressed by the ride of this little limo, and I've owned some pretty big cars, 
like 1980s Crown Vic and Grand Marquis, I've driven Lincoln Town Cars and ridden 
in big Oldsmobiles and Buicks.

If I recall, Nash had enclosed wheels as well, especially the "bathtub" Nashes 
of the postwar era.

George Mason insisted that they looked sleek, and that did limit the turning 
radius of a car with lots of otherwise good qualities.

Speaking of AMC, the two best-riding cars I've ever been in:  

1.  1966 Rambler American 220 Station Wagon - 199 Six with automatic
    (owned 1971-76)
2.  1966 Corvair Monza Sport Sedan - 110 PG, NO KIDDING! (current car)

Even my wife admits the car rides nice and smoothly.

I'm having a 4 wheel alignment and brakes done, hopefully this will fix the 
handling issues I've been having.  The engine is running much better since I did 
the "rev with your hand over the carb" trick, but the carbs still need 
work...Bill Hershkowitz 66 Monza Sport Sedan 110 PG A/C
