The 1960 Windsor has a 122" wheelbase. Saratoga, New Yorker and 300-F have a 126" wheelbase. For 1961, Newport and Windsor have a 122" wheelbase. New Yorker and 300-G have a 126" wheelbase. Until 1959, the 300 was considered part of the New Yorker series--many parts are interchangeable. The 122" wheelbase is the same wheelbase used on the larger Plymouths and Dodges and all De Sotos. Imperial division was still body on frame with a 129" wheelbase.

The fact that the trim is too thin is also another clue that you will have to find a part off of a higher line Chrysler. Any 1960 experts here who can clarify this?
