Default `Cuda / Challenger comparison pics

I had an opportunity to go to Phoenix yesterday so I thought while I was there
I would get a pic of my Challenger in the exact same spot I took one of my `Cuda back in '81..

I tried to get the same angle, same position, roughly the same time of day..
....Only 29 years later.....
Unfortunately the pic of the `Cuda has not aged very well..

Question Hello

Are those 18" wheels? Where did you get the white lettered tires? I can't find them anywhere.

BFGoodrich doesn't make them for 18" wheels..

I am always here..
Time constraints make me more of a 'lurker' than a poster..

but as Gibson mentioned, there is a new batch of Challenger owners now..
so I figured it was time to put up some more pics..

That's really cool, and it appears as if they are taking better care of the park.
I have been thinking about returning to the house in Lakewood California that
I grown up in and asking the present owners if they would mind me parking my
new Challenger in the driveway for a "then and now" picture....(now if I could
only find a pair of bell bottom pants....oh well that's a whole different story)

(**Just a thought: but perhaps we should start a new thread with "before and
today" pictures.......)

I got a little flack because of the size of the pics, so I resized them
to be seen even on small monitors..
The `Cuda pic looks better small, anyway..
