Vehicle Description
This 1961 Chrysler Newport was built in Windsor, Ontario. It's
powered by a 361ci 8-cylinder engine mated to a 3-speed automatic
transmission. The transmission is shifted with push-buttons to the
left of the steering column. The heater and vent controls are
push-buttons to the right of the steering column. A dash dome
houses the gauges. The dash is topped with a crack-free,
original-to-the-car padded dash pad. The interior is in good
condition, from its polished stainless-steel bows trimmed headliner
and all-chromed window garnish moldings to the dash with its
pit-free heavily chromed appointments. It features raised door and
rear quarter-panels with chrome trim on each panel, and the unique
Chrysler swing out-seats, which were optional. 1961 was the last
year of America's high-styling fins, and this is the only Chrysler
model that carried polished stainless-steel trim on top of the
entire length the fins. The Newport is shorter than the 300, with
well-balanced lines: "The Forward Look," as Chrysler called it. It
has 56,895 actual miles (the title reads mileage exempt) and spent
most of its life in western Alberta, Canada. The paint is in good
condition and the car runs and handles well. **TITLED AS A 1961
