"Car and Track" video - 1969 Chrysler Newport test

[Greg B.]

I'm wondering if anyone can point me to a copy of this video road test. You might remember that back in The Good Old Days of Speedvision, they used to run old episodes of Bud Lindemann's "Car and Track" TV show from the late '60s/early '70s. On one of those episodes he tested a '69 Newport. I remember they really wrung it out on the road course. Now I have searched online with no luck finding it. A couple of years later he tested a '71 New Yorker, but that video is also gone.

Anyone know if these are anywhere to be found?

I've seen such old tests of the day on youtube. Tried a search there ?

 

[Greg B.]

Yes. There is an account there with several Car and Track clips, but not these ones.

Yeah, just looked around a bit myself. Found a GTX just to give the younger ones an idea of these tests.

Great find! Thank you - it seems like Bud liked the big Chrysler except for the brakes. The rear axle control on that panic spot did leave something to be desired.

That is a cool video. I would love to see more mopar test drive videos.
