I’ve always had fun with my '60 Chrysler from Boston. The cooling system struggles, like it can’t decide whether to freeze or boil. Brakes got a mind of their own, squeaking loud as a wake-up call each time I hit 'em. Engine timing’s a comedy show, needing a watchful eye. And yet, despite all that, it’s a beautiful classic that keeps the gearheads chattering. There’s just something about '60 Chryslers, ain’t there? Like they got their own charm, you know?
I’ve owned a '60 Chrysler in Ohio—ragged headgaskets were a nightmare. Oil leaks were a constant, yet that inline six’s rumble was beat. Still, my buddy’s '60 turned into a parts bin fast, true story! No wonder they say rust’s a common issue as well.
I’ve got a 1960 Chrysler and lemme tell ya, it’s chill for casual cruises. But the carburetor can be a pain, causing stalling in Detroit traffic. I had a tranny issue too, and guess who. Suspension’s often kosher, but get that checked, ain’t worth the risk. Finding spare parts may be a tall order, so hit the vintage car clubs in Toronto. Good luck!

I’ve got a sweet '60 Chrysler Imperial from my grandpap back in Ontario. Man, those cars are gems, but boy, they got issues! Like my carburetor’s always on the fritz. Gets hit or miss starting up—just stare at it and it grumbles like an old man. I’ve heard folks in Toronto saying rebuilding their engines is almost second nature. Always find yourself fixing, but love them none the less!
Growing up in Detroit, I’ve had my fair share of '60 Chrysler issues. Frequent electrical gremlins—blown fuses everywhere—and rust problems, especially with the 1960 models. Steering can be finnicky, too. Classic hazard to keep ‘em roarin’, but a handful, you know?
Back in '89, I had a '60 Chrysler in Toronto. The electrical system was a nightmare; lights kept burning out and wiring was a mess. Rust was everywhere, so it was not just a classic—it was a full-time project. You almost needed a side hustle just to keep it running smooth. Still, the rumble when she roared was pure magic!
Back in New York, I’ve seen my fair share of 60’s Chryslers. Rust’s a nightmare, especially in the trunk and under body. The carburetor’s a finicky beast! But man, they’re beasts of beauty when they’re running smooth, aren’t they?
I’ve got an old '60 Chrysler, and these babies can be finicky! In Canada, tuning the carburetor is a must. Rust’s a nightmare too, especially with that thin frame. Engine heat and electrical gremlins are common headaches too! Talk about a classic pain in the ride!
I’ve got a 1960 Chrysler in Chicago, and boy, it’s been a ride! The engine’s the trickiest part—parts are rare and repairs can be pricey. Belt snaps every other month! But man, it still turns heads. Anyone else deal with this madness?
I’ve got a 1960 Chrysler in Detroit and love it, but man, the electricals are a nightmare! Rust keeps creeping up, and the carburetors are tricky. Classic feel but a handful, ya know? Cheers to the drive!
I’ve got a '60 Chrysler convertible - classic American beauty! But, y’know, those old heaters stink and need upgrading. Had to deal with rust too, seemed invincible but not! Here in Minnesota, rust’s a real pain. Nothing beats popping the hood on one of these though, feels like stepping back in time!
