Stan, the info is out there, we just need to pull it together. Check the data books at Hamtramck Historical. That will help with years/names/models. The 1970 Hamtramck Registry Library Page (1965 - 1969)

I use Hamtramck constantly.
I was hoping someone could tell me off the top of their head lol
Whatever holes I need to fill at the end I'll of course go there.
From the data book, it looks like the Dodge wagons didn't have their own unique monikers like Plymouth and Chrysler.

nope... no "regular" 880 is shown in the Hamtramck Database or the dealer brochure. just the "Custom 880" for 1965 "rolled in" with C's as Polara_500 said, then turning into an uplevel "Monaco" in '66.

Pretty straight forward and easy to understand.
Sorry, not quite so straight forward. The wagons are a PITA. 65 through 67 were not called suburbans, they were I II and III. 75 thorough 77 they were Gran Suburbans because the Suburbans were B-Bodies from 75 on.

Duly noted. Lemme recheck Hamtramck and any errors will be fixed.
Thanks for your input.

yup, what he said. ;)
seems like it satisfies, "clear", "complete" (at this level of detail), experts and newbies and all in between could "get it"/recognize it, etc.
hope lots of useful, constructive member comments now ensue to ensure unquestioned accuracy row by row and column by column.
nice work commando1 to get it going. thanks.
68 was first year for Suburban, X for 68 Suburban, NO X for 75 & 76 Suburban, they are Gran Suburban only. Sorry to be picky, OCD. Thanks for doing this. Very cool to have a reference.

You need your proofreader to change the bold "Fury" to Plymouth in column B.

I actually hope that we will only list C-Bodies this time. (I don't mean in Stan's Spreadsheet, which I like, but rather on the Home Page). Since we all agree that a C-body is a full-size car built by Chrysler Corporation between 1965 and 1978, in my opinion, only the full-size models built during that time period should be listed. So, if you ask me, no B-body Furys or Monacos, no '79 New Yorkers, no '64 B-body Polaras, no Forward Look Newports or 300s and no pre-'67 Imperials should be listed, as none of those were C-bodies.
That doesn't mean that if someone owns one of those cars that we don't want to know about it. It just shouldn't be listed as part of a C-body Forum. If you have a '64 Polara or a '60 Chrysler 300 that you're proud of, I'm sure most of us would love to see it. If you have a '75 B-body Fury or a '79 R-body New Yorker, I'm sure we would love to see pics of it too. They just shouldn't be listed among the cars that this forum represents, in my opinion.

Moparts does something that pizzez me off in their classifieds.
If it's not an A, B, or E-body, they lump all other RWD cars under "Full sized".
Full sized? Really?

So, they would call an M-body a full-size? Even though the first M-bodies went into production in '78, while C-bodies and B-bodies were still being built? The M-body still wasn't a "full-size" car between '79 and '81. The F-bodies were never "full-size". I guess they either don't know or just don't care. Too bad.

Stan....the 5th Generation Imperial's (1974-1975) were definitely C-Body platform cars.
I'm probably not reading your chart very well today but it looks like you have an X for 72 and 73 300's.
