Sorry little TC

1989.
A new car is introduced.


This is the car Lee Iaccoca wanted you to plop down $35,000 dollars for.  That would be $64,772.02 today, according to the CPI calculator. 

By the way I found this vintage promo picture from. (Missteps is a nice word.)

Only three years in production and it Maserati wanted nothing more to do with it.
Sorry Chrysler, your cars are shitty no matter the name.


Decades later, Mom and Dad saw one for sale.
Dad loved cars, and he love things that were unique. Mom loves a bargain. 
So they bought it.





And they had fun with it..


But now it is time for it to go.


And nobody can see it's hidden charm..
Only that it is a freaking 1989 Chrysler.


TC or Le Baron? You decided?

Ads on Craigslist wasted time.

So off to auction it goes..
Sorry TC. Sentiment doesn't buy you new tires.. batteries... insurance... registration... new electrical...
Still it will be a little sad to see it go.
