What if Chrysler had made this in 1978?

My first new car was a 78 Magnum. If you look at Dodge's magazine ad, it shows a white Magnum XE with white half-top and white and red interior. Add T-tops, PW, PL, and the E58 360 and that is what I custom ordered from the Dodge Hut in Honolulu. I was a young 2d Lieutenant, serving in the 25th Infantry Division as an Intelligence Officer, and traded in a very nice triple-white 73 Charger. I had the car for some time with no problems with Lean-Burn, but some issues with the transmission before selling it.

In my 20's, serving as an officer in the Army in Hawaii, and driving a new triple-white 78 Magnum. Thought I had the world by the ***. That's the car I had when I met my wife and had at our wedding in 1979. Time flies, but I still have the pictures, the wife, and the memories, even if I no longer have the car.
