Missed this one. The last C body Chrysler built in Canada rolled off the Windsor line in June, 1966. Starting with the 1967 models and through to the end of the C body production in 1978 all C body Chryslers sold in Canada were built in the U.S. - on the same lines used to build cars for the...

Mark had mentioned I had pointed out the typed "A71 - New Yorker Salon Package" on the Vehicle Shipping Order form, but the Vehicle Shipment Memorandum form had a modified A71 New Yorker Salon Package listing. The second entry in the A71 package listing normally would have been - "Silver Elk...

The "626" is the Scheduled Build Date, and the car was assigned that date when the car's order was received and processed. Once the date is assigned to the car, it's stuck there. The actual date of production may be moved, but the SBD will not change. Same with the MDH. Being the end of the...

Canadian emissions were lower than the U.S. in the 1970's. I owned a 1978 Dodge Monaco Brougham 2 door coupe with a 318 V8 with a 4-bbl carb. It was my first, and only, new car. Unlike the 2-bbl 318 V8 Monaco I turned down, the 4-bbl 318 did not have a converter. As it did not have a...

Thanks for the correction. Not sure why i was working with July, especially when I knew June was the last month.

No, the last one built was 183514. We do not know where 183514 is, or if it still exists. But we do know 183499, the 15th from the last C body built, does. The Scheduled Build Date on 183499 is probably the last day of C body production so if we can check the body tag on it we can determine...

I had stated in an earlier email the magical number we should be looking for is 183514 for the production sequence number. (The last six digits on the VIN). From what is known - CS23XXXXXXXXX, SPD 619, MDH 061611 (cited by Caper later in this thread) CS43T8C181574, SPD 619, MDH 062011...

For the SPN for Fury and Monaco models, the problem is that Fury and Monaco models were built at Newark along with Valiants and Darts and also at Belvidere, along with Chrysler. The East Jefferson plant built Chryslers and Imperials. So, the SPN at Newark will include Valiant (50,377), Dart...

The magic number you are looking for is sequential production number 183514. A total of 83,514 Chrysler C body models were built, all at the Jefferson Assembly Plant, and in theory the last car should by SPN 183514. And only C body Chryslers were built at East Jefferson for the 1978 model...

And no tilt and telescope steering columnl. Saved $83.00 on that option. The steering wheel in this NY is basically the same as the optional wheel in my 1978 Monaco Brougham. Only my Monaco had the Dodge coat of arms instead of Chrysler's.

Looking at the data tag there is no U for United States or C for Canada. So it may not have been built to American or Canadian safety and emssions standards. But it was definitely built for export. The "N92" on the tag means ESA less Catalytic Converter Canadian market Chrysler products...

Or check the engine number stamped on the front of the block, driver's side, just below the head. If it is A318, it is a 1965 318 poly.

That is one beautiful car! The 1974 Fury was a clean design and I like the grille. Goes well with the body styling. Made an excellent choice on the colour. And the Fury II 2 door hardtop was sold only in Canada - a total of 1,433 were built.

No, I have never worked for Chrysler or any other auto company or car dealer. Just a nut case really into Chrysler products (as well as Studebaker and Graham). Just have a load of stuff that has to be hauled around or put into storage when I can't afford to move it all. And I hate moving!

Yes, the windshields on the 2 door 1971-74 B bodies are the same, as are the rear windows. When Chrysler restyled the B body for 1975, the R and W models used one windshield while the X and S models used a second, although neither will interchange with 1971-74. And the 1975 X/S units were...

The last D body was the 1966 Imperial. The 1967-68 Imperials were C body - basically a New Yorker with different sheet metal and a 3" longer front stub frame. The R body was a reworked B body sedan. The 1979 Cordoba and Magnum were virtually identical to the 1978 models. No sheetmetal...

For the door locks, going back in my memory to the 1970's power door locks, when you unlocked a door the buttons would pop up a little and then back down to the previous location. Same when locking, only they would pop down for a second and back. They would not show any difference between...

Imperial's exclusive assembly plant was used for 3 model years - 1959, 1960 and 1961. And even then the Imperials built in June, 1961 came off the line at East Jefferson Avenue. Cadillac did not use unique bodies. They started using the GM C body in 1940. Thus the Cadillac deVilles used the...

The delete code for a full vinyl roof would be V18. The third digit was for the colour and colours were denoted by a letter. A "9" in the third spot meant a special order vinyl roof, while an "8" meant no vinyl roof. On the body tag, the first entry on the second row from the bottom is for...
