My 1969 Chrysler Newport 2drht

Post by Nigel Manners »

Hi all. I bought this a year back . 383 2bbl auto bench seat. It came in from Canada a year before that. Many small improvements since purchase so its now a really reliable great running waxed and oiled daily. Now sports Idaho plate on the rear as just returned from holidaying out there. A Saskatchewan plate on the front it's original plate from its Canada life.

Lovely car and colour. Any interior shots?

Personally I would lose the bumper number plate, to me it doesn’t flatter that rear end.

Get yourself a set of these ordered with the current uk reg but of course it’s your car :thumbright:

They do great plates but aren't they only for California plates, or am I missing something? :scratch:

Great car, by the way ;)

I did some work on one back in the 80’s, I’m tall but working under the bonnet was a real stretch as I recall. I got a puncture on the same car on a Friday afternoon on Leyton high road, O/S/R with only a bumper jack to change it, proper dangerous….

Nice looking C body. Bet that’s fun around those villages. Did you take it to the Smallest Cog for work? Could Hammond reach the pedals? :D
