A4 Silver on a 69 300 - How Common?

[Old Mike]

Silver fuselage 300 with red interior? YES PLEASE! Is it the burnt orange? I didn't think fusies came with red inside. Pics?

I’m not sure what mine is called, but it looks different depending on how the light hits it. Someone posted pictures of Chrysler brochures with interior options but I don’t recall.

Mine is ‘71 Newport. 383, 2bbl. The interior is perfect except for cracked vinyl on the driver’s seat.

Thanks. Bought it from the original owner in Virginia. Trailered it through the Appalachians (an interesting experience). Low option car, a/c and right outside mirror, and that’s it. 66k on the odo, garage kept and a reasonable price.

That’s a beauty!
I know I’ve said it before, it’s a very nice color combo.

I looked at a green 69 300 yesterday and it turns out it was originally A4 silver. (...) Another odd thing about the car - factory green interior & green vinyl roof. Seems to be pretty unique. Trying to grasp how that combo would look.

There is an unwritten rule in Dealerships to never pair Earth Tones with Silver/Grey cars in other words don't put brown seats in a Silver car etc. Cold colors like Blue/Black/Red/Grey yes, Green/Brown/Yellow/Orange with Silver? Verboten....(...)

This combination may have been unusual but, in the specific case of EA4, there is IMHO a green tinge to the silver (at least after years of fading) that must have made the car look quite classy.

A 1970 Polara with the same silver/green/green color combo recently sold in Flin Flon, Canada. I just posted FM23G0D327189 's tag in the "for sale" thread.

The A4 silver is definitely nice. A red interior would look very good, but I also like the blue in the 4dr posted above. Did Chrysler offer a darker blue? If I was ordering a car back in the day, I would go with that. That said, the available choices one could order back then makes today’s car just that much more BORING.

Mine is factory A4 with green interior and vinyl top that I don't remember the color or if I knew it at all.

Looks like you could only get dark blue in an Imperial. In three choices none the less!

That’s cool stuff! What was once reference material is now treasure. And like I said above, how nice to have all those choices and being able to order what you want. Now we get infotainment screens and maybe leather. Big deal.
