1963 Chrysler Newport 4 door sedan Blue

This is the value leader of the Chrysler line. Since DeSoto was no longer in the way in the corporation, Chrysler could devote their energies to selling the Newport at the "low cost" entry level. The history of high cost nameplates is to offer an entry sedan...this one has Torqueflite..and a 361 c.i. engine. I remember, at the time, some of these Newports were offered with a 3 speed manual transmission, shifter on the floor. That certainly was a bargain basement car..possibly a regionally offered model. This was videoed some time ago, so whether it's still for sale??

Jack, fabulous Chrysler. In fact, I just purchased a promo model of a 1963 Chrylser New Yorker hardtop. Me thinks we thinks alike. Thanks.

@55lincoln Hey, Warren! Definite possibility! I was into Chrysler products at the time...Dodge Darts to be specific. They had a 5 year 50,000 mile warranty as I remember...innovative for the time! Thanks! :) Jack

Nice looking car. It's always nice to see a car that's original, unrestored and carefully maintained as this.

@Seattlecarnut Hey, Jason! Yeah...there are some out there..this one won't need much to be first class!

Thanks! :) Jack

@raconter1 It may not be concourse d'elegance condition. But that's how I like a car. Nice enough that the owner can say that he's proud to drive the car, but not so much so that he feels he has to keep it hidden away and not use it at all.

@Seattlecarnut Hey, Jason! There are definitely good points about the less than perfect car...if something happens, it's not the end of the world..and it can be undone when the car has more work done on it! Thanks!

@cheddyrod Hey, Chester! Yeah, four door sedans haven't done particularly well in appreciating in value..but this would make a nice cruiser. BTW....I checked a you tube page, and the comment button has mysteriously reappeared! Perhaps the glitch is history! Thanks for your help! ;) Jack

@gene978 Hey, Gene! Yeah, I think the wheels are the Achilles heel of this car...nicer ones would definitely spruce it up. My guess is that it does not have A/C...I don't see any obvious cold air vents, but I could be wrong.

It would not be too surprising either since it is the base sedan. Thanks! :) Jack

I really like the styling of the 63 and 64 Chryslers. Even though this is the entry level model it does look luxurious. I don't know if these will ever appreciate in value but, I know I sure would like one. :)

I see youtube still hasn't fixed their glitches. I hope this is not their new format.

Another One in Very Good Cond. Jack! Some really cool rims or original steel wheel covers would dress her up nice. I wonder if it has A/C?
