Here's what the pinstripe looks like on my 69 Newport Custom. Noted as V7X Accent Stripes - Black on the window sticker.

The switch for the 69 does have three prongs. So far I have tried four switches and each has had a problem. #1 was obtained by my repair shop from NAPA. It wouldn't turn on the back-up lights. #2 was obtained by me from Classic Industries. It would turn on the back-up lights but I would...

Trying to find a good neutral safety switch for my 69 Newport. Tried some aftermarket ones and they either won't (a) turn on the back-up lights or (b) reliably start the car. Tried an expensive NOS one but it is leaking. Does anyone have any suggestions before I buy any more of these things?

I believe I saw an AM/FM with 8-track years ago at Carlisle. You could also get an AM 8-track and send it to one of those companies that puts modern innards into old radios. You could have FM, aux input and bluetooth and from the exterior it would look like the original. Not cheap, though.

I don't have a '70 300. Mine's a 69 Newport. Here's what its AM 8-track looks like.

Newports rule. Here's my 1969. I've had it since 1976. All original.

I'm registered.

After further investigation (removing the battery and the reservoir for the washer fluid), I was able to find the bolts on the inner side of the fender and reattach the trim. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to reattach this trim? Not sure if I need to remove the clips first. They don't want to budge. I can't see the back side of the clips to tell how they are attached. Don't want to do damage. Thanks.

Still own my first car, a 1969 Chrysler Newport Custom that I got in 1976. Location: Silver Spring, MD
