He would not be welcomed because of the left rear window being in the up position. It would be better if he smashed the window with a hammer rather than letting the car be photographed in that condition.

A C-Body owner would understand and make that sacrifice.

I prefer to think of it as I'm between C's
 
FWIW, Chrysler used "C" to designate their Chrysler car models since the 30's. (1932?) Example, my '53 Windsor is a C-60. They used "P" for Plymouths, "D" for Dodge and "S" for Desoto.

I think this stopped in 1955.

So.... My '53 Chrysler is a "C".

No, I'm not looking for a sub-forum for my car.... Just giving a little history.

Chrysler's C platform was the basis for rear wheel drive full-size cars from 1965 to 1978. Although often misclassified, 1964 and earlier full-size Chrysler products, and 1966 and earlier Imperials are not C-bodies.

Wheelbases:


1965 C-Body Polara



1988


1990-1993 C-body New Yorker


The "C" name was revived as the basis of Chrysler's new K-based mid-size front wheel drive cars.

I'll go with what Ma Mopar says as defined in the Alpar site "Chrysler considers the C body to have begun in 1965 with the unit-body construction."
 
I find it interesting that I often see mistakes like "C bodies were from 65-77" (see above)...when we all know C bodies ended in 78.

You also see mistakes like "Imperials 1965-1977" when we all know the C body Imperial ended in 75. See link:
