Hello everyone and greetings from Finland! As some of you know, it is the "happiest country in the world", but not so happy because it is next door to Russia. Nothing else about politics.
I'm not a newbie Mopar fan. I bought my first MoPar, a 1970 Plymouth Fury III with a 383 cid engine, in August of 1979. Then I was 17 years old. I now have three MoPars and this is my first "small car", an F-body 1980 Chrysler LeBaron Medallion 4dr with a 318 cid engine.
The car was sold new in Finland through a Chrysler importer and is now registered as a museum car.

I've liked American cars since I was a teenager, and that's a long time (I'm 64 now :).
The philosophy of US car manufacturers in the 1960s and 70s was very different from that of European and Japanese car manufacturers.
And I think that was an advantage; comfort and appearance above all!

Welcome! At least Finland has plenty of bunker space!

The Nokian Tyre situation was terrible until they opened a plant in Dayton.
