My main focus with the 1970 Hamtramck Registry
is building a database and owner files so that original
items such as broadcast sheets, fender tags, engines and
so on can be reunited with the car they match. The secondary
focus is to try and record as much information as possible
to preserve the history for each car so that it is recorded
from a historical perspective. We
all know how nice it would have been if Chrysler Corporation
had seen fit to keep records for us, but they did not.
So, I am trying to do what I can to fill that void. It does
take quite a lot of time and money to keep it going, it
also takes everyone of you helping out. I have received
lots of original items in the hopes that they can be reunited
with the right car, and I have helped reunite other items
the people have let me know that they have. Donations are
most graciously accepted, cash is cool but original broadcast
sheets and other items are more fun. I could not do this
without all of you, it is a major team effort.
| I'm not the best source
when it comes to detailed restoration questions. I am
more of a "numbers geek". Also, please keep
in mind that I receive hundreds of emails a week. If
you email me with questions about your specific car,
please list the VIN in the email as it saves me some
time. Easy questions get the fastest replies. Snail
mail gets top priority with me. I answer letters first,
and email as time allows. I can usually get back to
everyone within two weeks, but not always. |
I hope that you enjoy the Library
and Archive sections. If you have any submissions that you
would like to see in either place, please contact me to
make sure it is something new or something that is not already
in the works; new items are coming our way all the time.
If you have an item that we are missing, like some of the
missing Technical Service Bulletins as an example, please
contact me! Scans of original items in your personal collection
only please, none "borrowed" from other online
sources.
I can be reached by emailing sixpak340@att.net or by mail

Thanks to all and T/Ake care,
