I purchased a used ’61 Newport 2DHT with the floor stick in about 1964. I think it even had rubber floor mats. It did have power steering. I thought I had bought a poor-boy’s 300. It was not fun to drive through the Omaha hills and in rush-hour traffic and it was no 300!. Soon traded it for a ’63 Newport 4DHT with wonderful TorqueFlite—still the 361, but trimmed out, adequate and a good commuter car-pool car. Coulda/shoulda had 300’s both times. Rich Barber Brentwood, CA From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Tony Rinaldi awrdoc@xxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] Hi To All, Came across an article on manual tranny Chrysler Corp. cars from 1961-1864. I swear that the Dubonnet Metallic 1961 Newport was the one restored by John Hertog. It was a bare bones model that Chrysler brought out to compete in the lower price bracket against lesser expensive GM & Ford’s of the world. 3 speed manual on the floor with no power assists.
