    '65 300L question please - What does this look like?

    I wanted to do this on my 66 Newport but I couldn’t see how to do it without destroying the emblem in the process.

    brake drum color

    Looks like Chevy Engine Orange in that photo, to me . . . could just be the lighting of course.

    brake drum color

    Hi Aside from those few models that had parts of the brake drum painted red where it could be seen through the wheel slots, did Chrysler Corp. ever paint brake drums or were they just left to rust? Just curious, thanks.

    Package shelf coloration and/or source for new

    Was it brown then or keyed to the interior color?

    Package shelf coloration and/or source for new

    I haven’t found a “for sure” source for a ‘66 Chrysler Newport rear package shelf, just various C bodies models from other years. Given that, I might make my own from hardboard, using a jigsaw. How were package shelves colored? Paint? Dye? Vinyl covering? My original is badly damaged and I...

    It's As Big As A Whale! The 1972 Chrysler New Yorker

    After poring over the ICMDB for a while, I found a black '66 Newport 2 door that looks JUST like my car in the 2016 movie "The Infiltrator." Given the largely unknown history of my car, and that it was originally an east coast vehicle before being auctioned and moved to Washington State in...

    I also made a short video talking about how I performed the Ammeter Bypass on my '66 Newport. Hope this helps someone out there who is considering doing this little upgrade.

    Cleaning up aluminum wheels (not Mopar)

    A good suggestion, but that will make the wheels worth more than the entire van, lol. I’m looking for something I can do in an afternoon without refinishing the entire wheel. I might try a scotch brite pad just to get the discoloration off.

    Cleaning up aluminum wheels (not Mopar)

    So I’ve got these very nice aluminum wheels on my 2008 Uplander and there’s some corrosion from where wheel weights were previously placed, and brake goo that sat on the wheel for too long. What’s the best way to clean these up? Scotch bright pad, magic eraser, some sort of metal scraper, some...

    '66 Newport 2 Door hardtop

    All of the oddities that I was having after starting her up for the first time since November have cleared themselves out. The light was good this evening so I took some photos.

    400 vs 440 in a 76-78 New Yorker - noticeable difference?

    Slightly off-topic here, but my '66 Newport with a 383-2v and 2.76 has no trouble "keeping up" with normal city traffic. Granted the car is probably 500 lbs. lighter than a Formal, but still, unless someone is driving their Mustang obnoxiously, I don't have any trouble keeping up with the flow...
