Notes for Robert Edward (Spouse 1)
In the Spring of 1964, my dad (Andrew H) bought a brand new Plymouth 4 door sedan. It was powered by the famous “225 slant six”. The family (Andy, Clare, Pat, Mary, Mike & John) drove to Omaha for Bob Dahlquist’s ordination.
Dad was not happy with the car, he said it was slow and could not pass anything. We stopped in Detroit to visit Robert and for my dad to complain about the car. Robert said “that is not right, something is wrong” so they test drove it. The issue was tha the kick-down connection from the carb to the transmission was mis-adjusted, so the car would not shift into a lower gear. A quick adjustment and the car was as the Chrysler engineers expected.
It was still slow, but it was a lot more responsive. I bought this car in 1970 to take to college. In about 1973, my dad “encouraged” me to sell it to my sister Mary,
