The Story behind the Car |
| My grandparents where the second owners of this 1966
Chrysler Newport. My great-uncle, my grandpa's brother
in-law, purchase this Newport in 1965 site unseen and as a
special order from the dealership for $4,532.83. From what
I've heard, the hold family laught at him when he brought
it home. But he wanted a new car before he dies from his
cancer. His wife (Aunt* Ruthie) gave the car to my
grandpa about 3-4 years after my great-uncle passed away
for one dollar. She said that it was too big of a car for
her. I can only recall the car being at grandparent's
house, but this is what I can remember from stories told
to me. I still vividly remember smell for the car in my
granparent's garage. The car was then sold to my dad for
one dollar and then to me for one dollar. (For the full History) |

150,000 and was rusting too. Richard Narf |
