Saw this on Decatur, IL CL. Only 2 pics and not much of a description.

1970 Chrysler Newport Convertible Big Block project - $3000 (Decatur)
Car does run and drive. Needs a back glass, tires and a battery. Ran last year. Missing couple trim pieces and has rust in the trunk. Power top. Text 217-415-1288 for more info. Thanks. Please no scammers and I don't need help selling it.

What happened to the headrests?

I love the needless description "big block." All Newport ragtops were big blocks.
 
What happened to the headrests?

Either the seats got the new covers and they weren't replaced, or there never were any headrests. My 69 300 with bench seat doesn't have them.
 
I suspect it was a "pimp my ride" project that went south.
 
Were they mandated it '69? I know they were in '70. Didn't the Feds mandate them as of '68 for all cars?
 
Mine was an early build. 9/25/68. In the second pic you can see there are no headrests.
