I had a ‘70 Newport sedan in college. Light Blue. 383 2bbl.
Tonight I found the insurance card for it. I have the VIN and thought I’d post it. I don’t think it survived the crusher into the 1990’s. I saw it parked at a gas station along the Ohio River near St. Mary’s, WV around 1989.
Here’s the VIN:
CE41LOC119581
I don’t know if that can be decoded for anything or not
It had a GoldTone AM radio
Fabric seat surfaces, probably a mid-grade “brocade”
2bbl 383
A/C
Bullet style hubcaps
Lower body aluminum trim along rocker panels
Manual crank windows
I don’t think it had cruise control
Just wanted to make a note of this car for posterity’s sake. It served me well in school. Solid 15 mpg. I think it had Sure-Grip axle. It could take the steep snowy hills in winter with no problem. I was amazed. Just drive carefully, point and shoot… like a Polaroid camera. It was a real trooper. I once got…9 people? in it.
