Heavily WIP. Locations are from newspaper articles, previous knowledge, things like that.

The Chrysler on Central High School was never actually there.
According to the owner, it used to be ontop of St. Joseph's hospital at Linwood & Prospect in midtown. When the building was razed, a hemi enthusiast in Liberty saved it.
Ironically, the building demolition area was used in the final scene of "The Day After" where the man goes home and sees people squatting in what's left of his house. The film was said to have a great effect on Ronald Reagan at the time and is said to have been the catalyst for the INF treaty in 1987.

I actually have a photo of Central High in the 60s that shows a Chrysler on the roof. Perhaps it was moved at some point?

First off, that photo is awesome.
Maybe it was? I can't imagine why though.

Nor I in all honesty. You bringing that hospital to my attention definitely has my attention peaked however, as perhaps something could have been up there? I imagine by the time the CD stuff was taken out those things were probably long dead.

I found some cool clippings of KCs Chryslers. The one ontop of City Hall was brought into the lobby, disassembled, and then reassembled piece by piece on the rooftop. It was removed in the Spring of 1982.
