    My Parent's '65 Newport.

    68 newport weatherstriping

    Congrats on your purchase! I bought a 68 Newport 2 door slicktop back in March. My first foray in to old car ownership. Been a blast so far and the guys on the board are priceless in terms of experience, knowledge, wisdom, and help. :-)

    Discovery of the day (...or night)

    I have a few thoughts...small glass panel with Navigation or LCD gauges. Give a modern touch to a classic!

    I drove the 68 at night for the first time the other night...discovered that the HVAC buttons light up. How cool is it that this still works on a 52 year old car???

    Belts & Hoses...package deal?

    Did I tell you about the 68 Chrysler Newport 2 door fast top with the 383 cu in engine and the Edelbrock 750 4 bbl carburetor I recently bought??? Alright...So I am waiting on the registration and tags so I can drive all legal-like. In the mean time I am transitioning to preventative...
