Sigh.

shes so beautiful.

Just.. beautiful.

I'm looking for a new Pimp-vagen and that would be perfect.

Shame I'm about ten thousands miles away or something

boy could that car tell some stories very cool

@htrodblder:

please let them involve Tuesday Weld in the back seat.

I almost bought a 62 Saratoga a while back.. hopefully chrysler without their "german engineering heritage" can get back to their artful "american" designs

I'm thinking this would make a nice frontend for their new "imperial" long wheelbase 300 thats rumoured.

Nothin beats that front end, the 413 Max Wedge was a bombshell motor too. Goes up well against the 409 Chev of the times.

It's blue from eating ugly Porsche 928's.

This should be in the Fantasy Garage... As Is.

danio; isn't that the matchup in the Beachboys song, "409"? A neighbor had the 300 of this year that had the ram induction quads, talk about a vacuum suck, could that car run.

It is at times like this that I realize that I am a child of the 80's and have very little knowledge of the sixties.

All I can say is that this must be the front that gave Lutz the idea of signing off on the cross-hair grill that is now a Dodge brand mark.

Yes, but the 61 had the tailfins on that body!

My dad bought a '62 Chrysler Newport four door when I was young. He used it for his remodeling business and was able to hold all of his tools in the trunk, with room on the inside for a ladder if he needed one. Once he outgrew it as his work vehicle, it became my first car. To put it simply, it was a first car that I will never forget.

With the push-button transmission, and the space age looking instrument cluster the car wowed everyone that saw it. I remember taking a portable tape player with me to listen to music while I was driving, because there was nothing on the AM radio to listen to.

Thanks for bringing back the flood of memories!

She's pretty, but no shots of the Pushbutton A/T?

I need to get a series of pics of my 63' for Los Jalops to insult...

@Capt.Insano:

Yes it was. It was a favourite among moonshiners and drug runners as well. see the song Copperhead Road by Steve Earle.

In another Beach Boys song, Little Old Lady from Pasadena, they also make reference to a "Super Stock Dodge" which almost certainly given the time, had a 413 Max Wedge.

Legendary!

In the interest of being correct, "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena" hit the charts and was orignally written by 60s group Jan & Dean.

I am in awe. I LOVE that thing!

Just, wow

Also, the 413 was in "Shut Down," not "409," where its adversary was a fuel-injected Sting Ray, which meant 327. Yes, I am a total dork.

Canted quads rule the world.

I have a '60 Fury that would challenge this car in the batshit-crazy/acid trip design contest. I would totally drive this car, no question.

The best thing on these cars is the dash cluster, which would be equally happy in Fritz Lang's Metropolis as it would in Disney's Tomorrowland. The original one, before they ruined it. ;)

That's pretty close the one my parents had, although now that I see the grill on that '62, his had to be a year or two later. I don't think it had the big plus sign.

Yeah, I love those headlights. 2 horizontal and 2 vertical had been done. Split the different and you get that angry-Chinese look that says, "yes sir, I drive a huge Chrysler while smoking a pipe and tossing down old fashions. Wanna drag, sonny?" Maybe it only says that to me.

Absolutely timeless look - needs no polish, no buffin, heck no working internal lights. Leave her be and let HER do the drivin!

@Davey G.: Personally, I'd rather take the Fuelie 327 'Ray, but my first car was a ChevyII nova wagon with a 327, so I'm biased.

That thing sure is prettier than my mom's '86, though.

My first automotive memory is at age five, standing behind my dad's 1962 New Yorker T&C wagon and sucking in mighty lungfulls of those sweet tetraethyl-leaded exhaust fumes.

Probably one good reason why I'm well on the way to losing both my hearing and eyesight.

Our 45 year old beaters in Seattle are rustier and moldier than this car. I'm jealous.
