I would say the red rear side marker lights are not Imperial but should fit 1970 and 1971 Chrysler cars.

It's great you keep this cool car on the road and enjoy it!

It's true, the lower edge of a fender skirt that reached down to the rocket panel towards the front of the car and ending on the lower end of the quarter panel on the rear side could not be all horizontal. It would be some line oddly curved up. I do wonder, though, what the visual appearance of...

Ah yes, now that you mention it, I remember it. I am not sure if I really appreciate the looks with the fender skirts on a Newport. In my mind it does look more sporty without the skirts.

Oh wow, I would not have thought that. But there it is right there! So a customer (or the dealer) must have checked that box and added $37.40 to the tab.

What the parts manual describes as "closures" are the pieces that go in between the diecast grille (and in 1969/1971 also the parking lights) and the bumper, thereby also acting like a visual frame around the grille (almost, because there is no such part above the grille). They are made from...

@moper Are you referring to the front parking lights/turn signal, the front side marker lights or the fender mounted turn signal indicators? 1969 and 1970 was not the same part. The 1971 Chrysler 300 had the front parking lights in the bumper cutouts as did any other 1971 Chrysler. To the best...

I see a fender skirt. I don't think you could even order that for a 1971 Chrysler 300, so I'd say that's an add-on.

Some truly excellent work!

I guess the telescopic adjuster isn't correctly tightened. Since you mention videos, here are the links to the videos in the eBay item description: start up and drive convertible top opening convertible top closing headlights operating enginestart up 1970 Chrysler 300...

Car is on eBay again, with some new pics. Now located in Glenville, PA. Minimum bid is $15k, reserve not met, Buy it Now for $45k.

Still for sale in Nice, CA.

That is all very good reading! Thank you for all the pictures and information. In the 1970 and up system, the silver rotating ring/barrel on the stalk not only has the "resume" position (as in 1968/1969, albeit not marked on the switch as such) but also has an "on" and "off" position. Before...

If those were the original H70-15 raised white letter Goodyear Polygalss tires, I would think about not trashing but keeping and storing them, these are not reproduced.

Did you have the car on a hoist with the rear axle hanging low in the springs? If you raise the car with a hydraulic jack under the rear axle, that would not alter the gap between rear wheel and wheel lip opening and there is not enough space to get the rear wheel out. That goes for many...
