Based on the import plate, this car was most likely sold new in Belgium (I know of other Mopars sold new in Belgium wih the very same kind of tag). Cars sold in France would have had the "Chrysler Simca" import tag. I have pictures of that car from 2023 when it was for sale in Belgium. Also...

That is because the cylinders are not part of the block. One would probably drop the crankshaft with the rods like on the picture above, then install the pistons, and then install the cylinders. That's what the picture below suggests.

Please find below some pics with the installation on my left taillight (still trying to find a nice right taillight, so I only installed on the left side for the time being). First, one needs to fix the probably wavy sheetmetal, like it was on mine. Before: After: Then, I did the same on...

Hi gang, I'm looking for a right taillight for my 1966 New Yorker (not Newport). Doesn't need to be NOS, but needs to be in very good condition to match the left side. No chrome peeling or pitting. Lens insert must be without pitting either. Lens can be eventually cracked, as I have a NOS lens...

No need for a vanity mirror, the car is the mirror :)

Hi, How good or bad is the right taillight's chrome / pot metal? (the chrome bezel and the lens insert). Any detailed pics welcomed :) Thank you.

The footer of these paintchips may explain it.

I run with 225/75R15, but not sure what I would do when time comes to replace them.

Absolutely fabulous! Wunderbar! I'll certainly ping you for my 1966 New Yorker rear taillight gaskets. I do have spare housings and lenses that I could ship from over here.

I know of at least 3 other 1968 LeBaron with KPH speedo. One black with black leather (no vinyl roof), one black with black leather/grey cloth (no vinyl roof), and one white (unsure about the roof, very poor pictures).

The speedo is in kilometers. ;-)

It's a 1957 in fact.

It doesn't sound unreasonable these days, unfortunately. A recent quote from a friend on mine in this forum was a bit more than $4000 from an eastern US State to a French harbor (can't remember if it was Fos-sur-Mer or Le Havre). You can drive your car, as long as it has cleared the Customs, is...

How good or bad (pitting, damage) is the right taillight? Thank you.
