sorry, i managed to screw up my last post
i find it interesting too because since I got into C bodies, I always thought the 69 was the best grille and real panel/taillights. oh well, like you say, talented designers for all years.

For me, the 69 300 grille was just as nice as the 70 overall, so it is still 9.9 to me. The rear though, on the 69 appeared shorter than the 70 & 71s and didn't really incorporate the loop bumper to match the front like was done in 1970-1. So to me it looked a little less flowing at the rear. The 69s were still great cars to me.
It is a curious question 69 / 70 / 71 /? Which one is best ....? Im still not sure, EXCEPT that the 71's drive and handle much nicer than the earlier years ( in factory form)
You Steve are going across the board Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth as a group or just the Chryslers?

actually prefer the 70 Fury, can't beat the hood bumps for one. Don't shoot me but, I like the Dodge C bodies, but not to the level as the Chryslers and Plymouth's Fury model
I was referring just to the 300s Dave, but I feel the sentiment about the rear ends applied to the Chrysler and Plymouth more than the Dodges, which looked good to me across all three years. In fact, I have a hard time deciding which year Dodge was the best between 1969 - 1971 (which is why I have all three years of Monacos). I only have one Plymouth in those years, my 1970 Sport Fury GT. And regarding the 1970 vs. 1971 Plymouth Sport Fury grille, I think the comments I had regarding the 300s applies there as well. I prefer the 70 Sport Fury grille a little over the 71 because of the cleanness of the design, but both are just great! And I love all the 1969 - 1971 fuselage cars and even the 72 Plymouth Gran Furies and the 72-73 Dodge Monacos.
But I am a clear hoarder of the 1969-71 300s. Way too many of them.

It's this simple.
Best years/model 1st gen:
Imperial '69
Chrysler '69 300, '70 Newport, '71 NYer
Plymouth '70 SF, '71 std. Fury
Dodge '69 Polara 500, '70 Monaco. '71 changes were insignificant, both actually backsliding a bit, = no winner.
2nd gen
Imperial '73
Chrysler '72 Newport, '73 NY'er
Plymouth '72 Fury w/hidden lamps
Dodge '72 Polara, '73 Monaco
Think of this more as a "most improved year-over-year, or "who wore it better"

You did ask me to rank them in another thread, and I'm sorry, but the huge plastic lense/tailpanel in '71 Dodge is a letdown after the awesome double-delta bumpers of '70.
That is EXACTLY why the 70 ranks below the 71.

I have an idea. We should all pitch in 100 bucks. 450 of us equals 45 grand. Shouldn't be problem. It could be the c body forum mascot fury. We can put all of our names on the title, that way none of us lose out. Don't ask me how we all can enjoy it. Haven't gotten that far in my plan yet

Better rethink that. I don't think we have anywhere near 450 regulars.

cool idea....but
get them to pay a 100 for a Ride,
like say each guy gets a free days ride with the caretaker of the car,
have a group of caretakers and that would get everyone involved.
great way for the forum guys to get to meet up as well.

thats the beauty of the idea..
the caretakers are chosen because they live alll across the usa,
so the car gets passed from coast to coast and everyone gets to enjoy it.
