RE: 62 Newport Disc Brake Conversion?

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes you are correct, the text under the "C Body — 1965-1978" heading  at Allpar is poorly written.
http://www.allpar.com/model/rwdbodies.html   

To sum up the thread's points:

* In the everyday vernacular of the Mopar hobby a 1962 Chrysler is routinely called a C body. (Hobby perspective)
* In the official Chrysler manufacturing factory paperwork no reference is made to a letter until 1964 - 1965. (Historical perspective) 

Whatever folks call these Chrysler platforms -- full size, C body, A  body, B body etc. -- they are great cars and we all should just enjoy them while they are still around and legal to cruise down the road. "Have fun!" is the goal!   :) 

Thanks,
Gary H.
