Welcome to my Site!
Attention all 84-93 Dodge Daytona and Chrysler Laser Owners!
My book chronicling the
history and development of the 1984-1993 Dodge Daytona and Chrysler Laser has
finally been published, and is now available for purchase.
Dodge Daytona and Chrysler Laser
The Definitive History
1984-1993

for more information, and to purchase the book.
My
purpose for MoparAutos.com was to provide a place for
information on some Chrysler automobiles that I like,
but I believe have been forgotten by most people outside of Mopar
circles. Many people may still remember the
Daytona, but what about the Laser? Mention the
Dodge Magnum, and people only think of the station
wagon currently being built. Mention Charger, and
most folks will only remember the General Lee. And
bring up Mirada, and all you will get is a blank stare.
So I tried to accumulate as
much information as I could about a few Mopars that I
personally like, and wanted to showcase. Yes,
I also like Cudas, Roadrunners, and Vipers, but those
cars always get the spotlight. I also thought the
Cordoba was a nice car, but mention that to most people,
and they will probably laugh at you. I did try to
give credit to all of the folks that I got my
information from on the acknowledgements page. I
did my best to make sure that the information is as
accurate as possible, but as anyone in the car hobby
knows, sometimes numbers can be fluid, and will change
depending on who is stating them. If you think you
see an error, please let me know. And
if you have a Mopar related website, and would like to
exchange links, just give me buzz.
So have a look around.
Send me a message if you like. And if you have any
additional information about any of the vehicles
showcased here, by all means, let me know. As you
wander around, you will see that I have information
tables scattered all over the place. Some of the
cells are filled with only question marks. If you can help me
replace those question marks, I will be most grateful.
Since I live in Michigan, I wanted to provide you
with a listing of some Mopar car shows coming in 2006 in the state of Michigan.
If I have been to these shows in past years, I tried to give you my assessment
of the show. Of course, these shows can change and/or improve from year to
year, so you don't have to take my word for it. Hope to see you there!
Mopars at Seven Lakes
State Park - June 4, 2006 at the Seven Lakes State Park in Holly, Michigan.
Not a bad show, but kind of small. The park is gorgeous, and there is even
a lake there for swimming. Needs more cars to attend to make this a great
show. Sadly, their website is still showing 2005 information.

Mopar car show at the Walter P Chrysler Museum - June 11, 2005 in Auburn
Hills, Michigan. If this is the same show that I have attended at the
museum in previous years, then it is pretty good. One great benefit is
that admission to the museum is free during the show.
Mopars at the Red Barns
- July 22, 2006 at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan. I
LOVE this Mopar show. Tons of great cars, awesome setting, beautiful
grounds, and admission to all of the museum barns is free during the event. Lots
of the pictures of Cordobas, Miradas, and Daytonas that are on this site came
from this show in 2005.
All Mopar show at Friendly
Chrysler - July 23, 2006 at the Friendly Chrysler dealership in Lapeer, MI.
I think that I may have been to this show last year, but I am not quite sure, so
I will hold off on the opinions. This show is put on by the same people putting
on the Seven Lakes car show - Mid-Michigan Mopars.
These car shows are not Mopar exclusive, however,
they are car shows that I enjoy, and try not to miss each year.
Oldsmobile Homecoming - June 17, 2006 at the State of Michigan General
Office Building parking lot, corner of Canal and Billwood roads, Lansing,
Michigan. If you love Oldsmobiles, cannot miss this car show. Huge assortment of
all things Oldsmobile, including my favorites - the 442's and Hurst/Olds.
Camaro
Superfest - June 30 thru July 2, 2006 at Riverside Park in Ypsilanti,
Michigan. All things Camaro. Along with being a Mopar fan, I am also a huge
Camaro fan. I have been entering my Camaro into this show for years. Major fun!
Coldwater, Michigan
car show at the 4H Fairgrounds. May 13-14, 2006. This is a huge all-make car
show. It includes auto parts vendors, and for that significant other that is
bored with cars - arts and crafts booths.
Frankenmuth Auto Fest - September 8-10 at Heritage Park in Frankenmuth, MI.
This show is BIG, BIG, BIG. The cars just seem to go on forever. Make sure you
wear a comfortable pair of shoes. I love this show, tons of cars. If you only go
to one show every year, this is the one.
