If I read the vin correctly, mine was built at the Newark Delaware plant
In 1977 Falls Church Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc. moved to 6319 Arlington Blvd., Falls Church, VA. At that point the company had already been active in Falls Church for 25 years. (Fairfax County BZA Meeting Minutes Book, Vol. 21, p. 213)
According to another source, the company was founded in 1950.
In 1989 owner Raymond Frank sold his business to William Graves, who renamed it Graves Quality Chrysler-Plymouth. That business got heavily indebted to Chrysler Credit Corp., who had the property confiscated in 1991.
At the original address, 357 S. Washington St., the Red Top Cab Company seems to be operating.

Thanks. Interesting stuff. When I was around 12, my Dad bought a’69 Newport 4 door hardtop from Mel Wolff Chrysler Plymouth on Western ave., in Chicago. That dealership has been gone many years now.

My 1972 Duster came from there too. Your car is the only other vehicle that I know of to have been sold new there. The build date on my car is November 16,1971. There is a very good chance that the same style invoice was used during that transaction.

My father worked there as a salesman in the mid-sixties.

Obviously not a C body, however it was sold new at Falls Church Chrysler-Plymouth. I bought it from the original owner July 27, 2000

Thanks. Does your car have a dealership nameplate on the trunk? If so I'd love to see a photo of it.
Dragging up an oldie here. Chrysler Historical had told me that my '67 Plymouth GTX was sold new at "Falls Church Garage, Inc" Looking at the IBM card, the best I can make out the dealer code is 35923
I have a reproduction window sticker and the address for Falls Church Garage is 357 South Washington St, just like the header in the OP's picture so I would assume the actual name of the dealer was Falls Church Chrysler Plymouth (Garage)

Wow! My father was a salesman at Falls Church Chrysler Plymouth in the sixties. He could have sold that car. . .

I guess. . .
Does that mean he sold a car to Kevin Bacon?
