Re: [FWDLK] RARE 1961 Newport

[Richard Whelan <rwhelansr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Certainly not common today but probably not that rare either. the Newport 
was a bargain basement Chrysler advertised and priced at $2964.00 in 1961. 
Most dealers probably stocked only 1 or 2 of the price leader stick shifts 
with the hope of stepping people up to the fancier models. If anyone knows 
the production figures I am sure they would be of interest. I knew of 
several back in the day and they were available for several years. Around 
1965 I had the pleasure of driving a co-workers 63 and remember what a nice 
refined driving car it was compared with the clumsy 3 on the tree Fords and 
Chevys. Dick
