Any Chrysler C-Body Fans?

I like them for styling and all you get in a true full size car, i like the '69 best, especially in the imperial which i think is basically a newport. A '69 or maybe '71 fury actually had not only headlight doors optional that looked great but also headlight wiper blades with washers for low beams. Did newport offer that? I was surprised all chrysler offered then like electric sunroof and cassette tape recorder with it's own microphone in addition to the great 8track

I haven't looked at any of the sales brochures for that year, maybe only for models with the hidden headlight option? If anyone would know, it would be Carmine!

If you look at all the so-called luxury cars built in the last 40 years, you'll see that they're all a glorified lower end car.
The Lincoln is a fancy Crown Vickie. Look at the General and the junk, they're pushing out with the Cadillac badging!

I came close to bidding on this '70 Chrysler 300 at a local Mecum auction last year when it was as the Schaumburg Convention Center. I just wasn't in a position to take on another car. Mecum screwed up big and advertised it as a 1970 Newport in the newsletter and also at the auction which is why I believe the car sold for so cheap. But a real Mopar person knew it was a 300 because of the hideaway headlights. The car ended up selling for about $4400.00 with no reserve!
