[Chrysler300] A Chrysler I've never seen before - reply

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

Ah - you too noticed this !  I  went further than you did, and called the 
place...   the VIN number of the car is 8123154478  which indicates a 1962 
Chrysler Newport.   SO number 12231156 ; trim 818.  Looks like someone 
grafted a 1960 Windsor or DeSoto front clip on to a 1962 Newport !
