My parents bought a 1975 Town & Country, brand new. They got rid of it in '79, the year before I started driving. What a car. I really miss that one. Ours had the optional smaller engine (the 400). Previous to that car they had a '72, same model.
That is still the prettiest car i ever seen (besides the 61 and 60 Chrysler 300 letter series) If i was a pro ball player, i would have a collection of mint and restored
In 1975, the only automobile manufacturer in the world that had a better breaking system for their cars, than what was on the Chrysler Imperial, was Mercedes Benz. The Imperial had better brakes than on a BMW and a Rolls Royce.
What this guy says in the video is true- these cars ride fabulously and handle great! I had a 77 Newport, and it was the best riding car I ever owned. It handled amazingly well for a big car and it went where you put it- you weren't constantly correcting the steering.
In the early 1960's, our neighbor and 18th district congressman, Wayne L. Hays, Owned a Chrysler Imperial convertible....winter cream with charcoal conv. rag top and it was huge....I think it was a 1960 or '61....What a stately Car...the huge bullet globe headlights and rear gun tail lights....Massive in size. Those were the days of real cars.....and things that were made to last forever. HTH in Wheeling,WV...
My father was strictly a Mopar family car guy. He used to own a 77 Newport, 71 Newport Custom, 66 300, 61 Windsor, 58 New Yorker. I wish i had a big Mopar to own and be happy forever.
@BNforever2009 My grandparents on both sides of the family owned some chryslers but my Dad was a Chevy GM guy. As a kid, i always loved the chryslers. Then i worked for a Factory owned Chrysler Store for 3 years.....best memories. I owned a 58 New Yorker, my first car. Many of our mechanices owned some of the cars you mentioned. Great cars...and I am now a proud owner of an Imperial Convertible and a St Regis. :O) Get one Soon! You'll never regret it!
I had a '72 Newport Royal, 4-door sedan. It had a 400 cid V-8., automatic transmission, 2 barrel carburetor.; 22 gallon gas tank: and got around 27 miles to a gallon of gas. Do you suppose it would be considered a clunker today?
What a YouTube diamond! Thanks for sharing it! An era when cars were what they were supposed to be and Chrysler was #1! I want a white Imperial with a red leather interior!
I have a 95% Original 1974 Newport. Original Paint. Original Interior looks like new. The A/C blows Ice Cold. I have owned many Chrysler products from 1979 and Older. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Those lucky SOBs that could buy those cars new!! I'll take my Imperial in Bittersweet (copper) with a Parchment (off-white) leather interior and a sunroof please... Thanks for posting this!
OMG! I used to drive a 1975 chrysler newport in highschool! It was a realy nice car but man that was a big car! I used to call it "the boat". lol. It was canary yellow with a black hardtop and kacki interior. God those were the days!!!!! =)
You wouldn't happen to have any films on the Cordoba or the '76-'78 New Yorker Brougham, would you?!!

Of course! Anything that isn't considered one by our rulers in Washington today would fit in the trunk of an old Newport like yours!

These weren't just cars; they were stunning works of art.
There is absolutely NOTHING available today at any price that can match the style and class of these masterpieces.
