Wish they'd spent more on the interior and less on the wheels

What do those big wheels do to the handling?

Could you get a Newport from factory with no vinyl top?

Yep.

Couple of our C bodies in 69.
The Blue Newport Custom in the street was Dad’s other company car.

Vinyltops were generally optional except on a few Imperials, where they were standard.

If you start a car with a car key, do you start a donk with a... ?

Better "donk'd" than "derby'd," though.

I'd think the ride would be harsher. Hit a pothole and there goes your "investment."

Everyone likes hardtops, but there’s something I like about sedans. Big Mopars seem to wear that b-pillar better than most other cars.

The B pillar really doesn't make it feel less "open" than with a hardtop, not to me anyway. Doors also have a bank vault solidity that hardtop doors don't have.
