Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end early. You are bidding on a unique one family owned Chrysler Newport.

Well documented survivor, original bill of sale, some neat memorabilia such as; old road maps, trip log from the mid 60's outlining vacations, sights seen, etc. Car came with a homemade emergency kit with a vintage flashlight, whisk broom etc. I’ve included pics. Also note in the pics the original owners wool blanket neatly folded in the rear seat which was used to keep the kids warm on those long road trips. All in all a true low mile survivor car, the last of the classic finned cars, tons of chrome, a very unique piece of motoring history. Description as follows:

Mechanical:
* original and correct 361 V-8 Golden Lion
* engine compartment has been detailed nicely
* unique bush button automatic trans, all controls in this model were operated by push button, kind of a cool feature
* factory single exhaust, new from muffler back
* original bias ply tires have been replaced with radial wide white wall
* red steelie wheels with chrome center cap, love the look, but I do have the original full hubcaps if desired.
* power steering, manual brakes
* new shocks
* new radial tires
* new brakes at all four corners
* new wheel cylinders all four corners
* new battery
* fresh oil and filter
* fresh coolant flush, radiator cap, thermostat
* complete tune up
* all new belts and hoses
* new valve cover gaskets

Interior:
* factory red and plaid two tone
* factory rubber mat/ carpet delete
* small wear area on driver’s seat
* very cool 3D style domed dash surround
* working original AM/FM radio
* I believe most if not all of the interior is original and in very nice condition.

Exterior:
* still retains its original paint color ; code W Alaskan White
* much of car appears to be original paint
* very nice original chrome and stainless
* excellent glass throughout
* solid car , all original panels
* nicely finished trunk area
* one seam in trunk has been repaired, remainder is solid
* all weather strip still appears original and while not new, still in usable condition
* clean original underside, no patches , no repairs
* some misc. nicks and chips have been touched up over the years, by no means a freshly restored car, but certainly a well preserved car.

To summarize, please take the time to review all the pics and don’t hesitate to call with further questions. 517-425-0129. This is a great opportunity to own a part of Chrysler history and while not considered a "main stream" muscle car, part of the appeal to me is the uniqueness of this car and perhaps a little touch of "dare to be different". At the very least, this will probably be the only one like it at the next car show or cruise in and always garners a lot of attention. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by a licensed MI dealer.

1950s car ads are timeless

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Usually around the Super Bowl a few great car commercials show up, but for the most part auto ads today pale in comparison to the '1950s and '60s. In an era with a truly viable magazine industry, automakers would take out gorgeous full-page spreads to get the word out about their wares. It was also a time when imports were just hitting the US, and there was a boom in sports cars. Car and Driver has gone for a dig into its advertising archives from when the book was known as Sports Cars Illustrated for a truly great viewing experience. You can imagine a young Don Draper mulling over the copy for these ads, but some of it is laughably quaint today. For example, there's a great image of a driver whipping an Austin-Healey 100 around a track. The italicized red text proudly proclaims, "From 0 to 60 MPH in 10.5 seconds." One of the beautiful parts about these advertisements is that you seldom see photos of the cars. Instead, there are often detailed drawings that slightly distort the vehicles' lines. With this approach, the Porsche 356 ends up looking far more curvaceous than in real life. Plus, the front end of the Chrysler 300 looks large enough to land a helicopter on. The whole thing is worth scrolling through. There are some fascinating glimpses into auto history like an ad for Abarth exhausts before the brand was just known for tuning Fiats.
