1979 Chrysler Newport
Much like AMC in ’57, Chrysler did the same (at the time, right business move) in letting the R’s die on the vine to concentrate development and marketing costs on the K’s. Other than some rust on the left-side doors, the car is quite solid, right down to those aluminum bumpers.
If this is true, so feel free to contact us. The styling of the R body is a face only a Mopar fan can love.Being that you are a Mopar fan, I can understand your opinion, but the rest of the market didn’t agree.The Panther only took off in 1983 because gas prices were coming down and the economy was improving.
I will own one someday.Come to Rhode Island – there is a dealership in Wakefield, RI that sells only vintage Chrysler products and they have a MINT CONDITION 1981 New Yorker Fifth Avenue with only 15,000 miles on it.
Given the age of the vehicles and the years the show was produced, I’m thinking they must have bought a bunch of decommissioned patrol units from various southern CA police departments.I had no idea this car existed. I ended up purchasing an ’81 Imperial, but did look at the New Yorker.
The 76-78 C Body was a beautiful, graceful car. Email alerts available. Chrysler really needed a new platform for these cars, but couldn’t afford it. The VV carb was a mess but the electronics of the 79-81 Panthers was head and shoulders above those of the R body. The Torqueflight 727 was impossible to kill. The ’60 Dart was one of the first blows, then the lack of a full sized car from 62-64 didn’t help. It has long since rusted away and I have scoured google to find a picture of the interior to show my wife. The neighbors had a ’74 Monaco back in high school, a 4-door hardtop.
I can personally recall seeing in the fall of 78, brand new cars delivered that were only build 3 weeks earlier that were all tarnished and crappy looking. N/A. Comments about this vehicle. The 1985 Crown Vic was a much better looking car (to me) than was the 1979 – the right detail changes can do a lot.Strange then Dodge used the St.Regis nameplate instead of continuing the Monaco name or even reviving the Coronet name (although then Coronet was revived in I think that the lack of an R body 2 door was due to the existence of the Cordoba/Magnum (1979) and the Cordoba/Mirada that were scheduled for a 1980 model introduction. The big-block 400 and 440 V8s were history; incredibly, the 1979 Newport’s standard engine was the 225 Slant Six, which made all of 110 horses to power the 3,530 lb. 1953 Chrysler Newport Hemi Engine Automatic Restoration Project! There were rattles and squeaks. Chrysler had to hold up early model deliveries in the fall of 78 to deal with this problem. The trunk leaked. The big car market was believed to be very much dead in the early ’80s. . Chrysler Newport 4-Door Pillared Hardtop 360-4V V-8 TorqueFlite (aut. What really intrigues me is the rear door window treatment of the pictured ’80 New Yorker, with the coach-type roof effectively placing a whacking great pillar in the middle of the door window. At least it was a unibody. I could go on, but any possible success these cars could have had was negated by awful quality control.What were The Other 3? 2 doors couldn’t have been “dying that fast” if GM and Ford kept them around for almost another decade, more if you count FWD large GM coupes.There were advantages and disadvantages with both the Ford Panthers and the Chrysler R-bodies, but the Panthers held a big advantage in that they were an all-new design.
Compared to the R-bodies, the Panther cars were a veritable Lexus when it came to build quality. The bumpers were awful. 1979 Chrysler Newport. Chrysler would have sold a ton of these in 1984-88 had the company kept them around. Really clean car top to bottom. “pillared sedan.”Despite the carryover underpinnings, the new 1979 Newport was rather attractive and quite modern-looking. As a result, Chrysler’s existing lineup would enter the next model year with the most minimal of changes. Chrysler never had a lot of styling differentiation between marques anyway, and by the late ’70s they could barely afford to give the cars different emblems (by the ’80s, they didn’t even do that). This prestigious accolade represents the continued growth of the company, and ClassicCars.com's dominance as the world's largest online marketplace for After all, GM B-body sales also tanked (thought not quite so drastically) in 1980-81, and in 1982 Pontiac went so far as to eliminate full-size models. I don’t think many were sold, the salesman barely showed me the car.My initial impression was the St. Regis was too boxy, the 6 cylinder didn’t come up to my expectations. That said, I did really like the ’74-’78 big Mopars. Body side molding and windshield frame moldings that looked like utter crap because of the light weight material. Plus, given that Chrysler was in much better shape under CAFE than either GM or Ford, the availability of the 360 would have been huge to buyers in this segment in the mid 80s.But, a year later, fall 1982, Ford brought out the 1983 Fox LTD and renamed the big one Crown Vic and sales took off. N/A. By 1980-81, they were pretty good cars (aside from Lean Burn issues).Also, by 1980, it was clear what shape Chrysler was in, and sales of everything that was not an Omni/Horizon was in the tank, even more than at GM/Ford, who were also battered by high gas prices and a nasty recession. My point is just that the R would have been much more competive than the Fifth Avenues and Diplomats, which were way too small for the segment they were trying to compete in. With many little dots at the edges…I would love to be able to see Color Breakouts for many of The car models, some of the take rates must be so low on some questionable choices hoisted on the public by the designers.jp – I agree with the color. It’s rather eerie.I mentioned I’d looked over carefully an ’81 Gran Fury in the day . I was so looking forward to seeing them drive up in a ’74 4-door sedan Monaco cop car; imagine my disappointment when they pulled up in a ’79 Chrysler cop car.
