    How to remove headrests?

    I was looking at my Newport this morning while the Bugman was spraying around my home. Knowing that I have all of the stuff to redo my interior, I decided to look in my FSM to see how the headrests are to be removed? Do I just pull them up? It said nothing!! Nothing in my 1975 Chilton's Book...

    Engines available in a '70 Newport.

    I found something very interesting yesterday. I was looking for a specific book in my "library" yesterday when I came across something I had forgotten I owned. It's a "Chrysler 1970 Data Book." As I said, I forgot I owned it, so I started perusing it. Then I saw it, engines available in the...

    On October 6, my Sister, her ex-Husband, her daughter and son-in-law, and her two grandchildren came to Fresno for a 3-day visit. My Niece, Alice, loves cars, and goes to shows with her granddad. She was looking forward to seeing my Newport and Gremlin! So, I didn't let her down! I took her...

    Ah, the Great 383 Hemi!

    Got them moved to Fresno!

    All right, I now have three of our cars to Fresno. And in answer to the question, "Can you tow a C Body on a U-Haul transport?" the answer remains: Yes! Two weeks ago I trailered the Gremlin to our house in Fresno. Last Friday, I took the Newport, drove back to Chico on Saturday, then after...

    Got my Newport running!

    As I've ben having electrical gremlins since October, my Newport hasn't been running. Since we are moving at the end of June, I needed to remedy that! I pulled all of the connectors from the Bulkhead Connector and attempted to clean all of the ends. I had a good result as my interior lights...

    My photos from Fall Fling in Van Nuys

    My Son an I attended Fall Fling on October 23. Against what we expected, there were a good number of cars there, especially since it was raining earlier in the morning. Didn't take any pictures of the Swap, which seemed lower than two years ago. There were far less food vendors, and the Ice...

    1970 Seat Foam

    Hey People. I'm still looking for pre-cut seat foam for my '70 Newport. I can find two sites that sell foam for '69 C Bodies, but none for the '70. Can anyone tell me if the two would be the same?

    My Parent's '65 Newport.

    I finally did it; I got down the old photo album which contains the only pictrues I ahve of my parent's '65 Newport. A four-door hardtop with 383 HP. It had PS and Brakes; AC was the only other option; everything else was base. Funny, after all these years I was shocked to see it had poverty...
