I love the laidback seats and manually rolled down windows. Dontbhave to worry about the motor going out

Back in 1986 my father bought a 1974 imperial as my 1st vehicle. It was tan with a vinyl roof. The car had 60,000+ miles on it and had the 440 v8... He purchased it for $800 and other than a very small ding on the passenger side lower front fender the car was in immaculate condition.. it even had the non radial tires!!! The minute I got far enough away from the house I did a burnout over 150 ft long and blew the tire completely apart.. needless to say I was grounded for a month lol... If I knew then what I know now I would have kept that beautiful hunk of Detroit steel!!! Miss that car!!!

A very special one off car. Thanks for walking us through it and explaining

Very attractive Chrysler. Just shows that special order cars do exist and did happen in their day.

What a fascinating video of the 'poor man's New Yorker'. I was thinking I had never seen a Chrysler Newport in that color and then you confirmed my suspicion. The 18 color options that were available then put today's paltry selection to shame. Here is the list of hues: Silver Frost Metallic, Powder Blue, Lucerne Blue Metallic, Starlight Blue Metallic, Burnished Red Metallic, Frosty Green Metallic, Deep Sherwood Metallic, Avocado Gold Metallic, Sahara Beige, Dark Moonstone Metallic, Sienna Metallic, Dark Chestnut Metallic, Spinnaker White, Formal Black, Sun Fire Yellow, Golden Fawn, Golden Haze Metallic and finally, Tahitian Gold Metallic. Mark me down as SUBSCRIBED!

That's gorgeous! You are very lucky to own that!

My grandparents had a '76 that they purchased new. Light blue, dark blue top and boroque (sp?) interior. It replaced a gold '70 Newport that had. Granddad passed in '82, but the '76 was my grandmother's main ride until a new Olds Ciera replaced it in '90. However, she still held on to the Newport until she went into a rest home in '04, and both cars then went through an estate sale. As a kid, we made lots of long distance trips in that blue Newport.

Great video! Growing up in the 60’s/70’s, dad would never buy a car with power windows, seats or locks. He said that’s just another thing to break down.

When in high school, my girlfriend's Dad had I believe a 1975 Newport. It was medium blue with a dark blue vinyl top and blue interior. He really liked that car because it was just as big as a Cadillac or Lincoln but a lot less money. It probably got terrible gas mileage. He handed me the keys to take his daughter to the Senior Prom in 1977. He wanted her to go in style.

Definitely a special order car... No doubt about it...You are correct about the gray urethane bumper/body fillers... Michigan State Police cars were a special order, unique blue and they all had these fillers...

Usually can't stand anything after '72 and before '91, but that is one handsome car for sure!

Beautiful car; thanks for sharing! Very interesting option choices too.

I had one of these in 1982 when I was stationed on a ship going through the yards in Seattle! We called it the Bluesmobile! Total party car!

I LOVE this car and the neat combo of options it has on it. Good luck with it!!!

Beautiful Newport. Too bad the sound didn't come through. I had three 74s. Two Coupes, and a sedan. I also had a 75. What a joy to drive!

My father had a 77 Newport 2 door. We drove it cross country twice. Had the anemic 400 ci with the lean burn system. That car was huge.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Very nice one off Newport!

Very nice car, young man 👍 An original survivor, must have spent a lot of time in the garage,a dry garage 👌
