Fletch is in the Albury/Wodonga region, home to the 'Chryslers on The Murray' event. He talks with three Chrysler owners and members of the Albury/Wodonga Chrysler Club as each reveals the story behind their passion for Chryslers and how they came to own their vehicles.
First is Darren with a 1971 VH Valiant Charger that he had admired for a long time and offered to buy repeatedly, then suddenly it became available, "I had to have it" said Darren. He has kept it in as original condition as possible.
Another classic is Arnie's 1935 Chrysler that has been in the one family since 1947. Arnie recalls when his grandfather purchased the car and how he still loves the car today, saying "it has never let him down". He has a very emotional attachment to the car and the memories of his grandfather. Arnie also shares a charming little anecdote about a set of spare wheels covers for the Chrysler.
Finally, John with his 1961 Chrysler Newport which Fletch describes as the epitome of style. Lovingly restored by John in his retirement, it was a project for him after a lifetime of commitment to his business. John believes everyone should have a car project, it's good for your mental health, and it keeps the grey cells active.
Some great insights into the hearts and minds of motoring enthusiasts.

Arnie's 1935 Chrysler... well what can I say; a beautiful car indeed and a true gentleman shining on all our screens today. He made me cry how he was expressing so much love for his dear old grandfather. Lets just say there was not a dry eye left in this household. Thank you again Fletch, for truely bringing home exceptional content. Your travels to faraway places around N.S.W has bought out some very interesting content. How good was Darren's 1971 Valiant and John's 1961 Newport? We the viewer and I speak for all of us, cannot wait to see your further upcoming episodes. I am sure they too will be filled of more emotional yet very interesting Classic Cars and enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more laughter, tears and joy. Cheers Fletch we love your work.

Wow Donna you said that so brilliantly, thank you. Have viewed the latest episode of Driven as yet as it had a truly stunning Chrysler 330F to which I'm sure you will enjoy as much.

Indeed Blinkie1, DRIVEN is another great in-house production made by Shannons. We can never seem to get too much of our hobby can we?. Cheers buddy. Fletch

Cheers Fletch mate, three top rides in this episode very interesting just as the interviews were from three top blokes mate. What a score this week from Shannon's given we had 'Driven' which featured Alex's 1960 300F and now your show mate with three awesome rides from Mopar, just way cool!
Glad to see your well and keeping away from that Virus to.
Cheers
