Re: [Chrysler300] Power Locks

["Don Warnaar" <300country@xxxxxxx>]

I have a Chrysler & Imperial Data Book for 1965 and the paragraph on page 28 that pertains to our discussion reads as follows:

"Electric Door-Locking System - Here's a real convenience that's available on all 4-door Chryslers.  Just turn a key in either front door and all four doors lock automatically. . .electrically.  When entering the car, the car key unlocks only the door the key is used in.  Once inside the car, pushing down either front-door button locks all four doors. . .pulling up either front-door button unlocks all doors.  Both rear doors can be unlocked individually from inside the car by lifting the push button on the door."

I have no personal experience with the system.  Anyone on the listserver have (or had) a 4-door 1965 Chrysler with power door locks?  I would imagine most cars that had that option were New Yorkers or at least 4 door 300s.  It sure would be an oddity for someone having ordered a Newport with the option.

Can anyone pinpoint in what year they switched from vacuum to electric?
