About the Author: Robert Ackerson was born and raised in Rockland County, which until the mid-fifties, was a region of New York State. After high school and college he moved with his wife to a small community a few miles from Cooperstown.

When Chrysler began introducing it's new Hemi V-8's in the early fifties, Bob's interest in MoPars was piqued and now, with the new models at the forefront of a new age of high-performance, it's stronger than ever
