Fellow Imperialist
Anthony,
I have often been bewildered by the many
in-car-nations of our Chrysler vehicles. I'll use the '68 model
year for an example.
Chrysler Lineup by
Literature:
Imperial as a Brand on its own,
New Yorker
T & C
300
Newport Custom
Newport, as presented in the 40 plus page prestige catalog.
In Chrysler's quest to satisfy every
customer, every option was available on every model, the only exception for this
year [1968] which I have all the literature in hand for, I find being
manual tranny's offered in the Newport lines only. So if I was so inclined
in '68 and wanted a convertible, bucket seat, center console, manual tranny
to match my 440 TNT/sure-grip, heavy duty towing package in a luxury
format model with every bell and whistle the Imperial [right down to
Sentinel headlights] has, I could. And the only difference of course
would be the exterior lines. Not a bad 'build' really....

Here is one that I can't still figure out on this same Thread of discussing models. Why was a car called "Chrysler Newport Imperial" when a Chrysler Imperial was still in productions back in the 70's? -Anthony Who's never won? Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music. |
