Words and photos by Jeff Burk

Ok the last time we showed you a little of everything. So this time to wrap your online visit up we thought that we'd show a few more photos but perhaps even more interesting some of the historical info that the historians at the musem put up beside the cars. So for your enjoyment and edification more from the Walter P Chrysler Museum salute to the Hemi.

Oh and just a sad P.S. Although the Musuem is permanent the Hemi display isn't and if you were planning a visit there just for the Hemi exhibition it is too late.

The Holy Grail of Hemi-powered door cars

The museum had this prototype SSAA 'Cuda on display in the garage are of the museum. Just imagine you could have bought this off of a showroom floor in back in the good old days.

One rare Ram

This was the pace car for the 1954 Indy 500! You talk about cool. A convertible, with wire rims, and a hemi under the hood and the cost for these options $201!
