Chrysler Newport - 1st Gen (1961 to 1964)

Prior to 1961, the Chrysler Newport name had been used for two door hardtops available on the Chrysler New Yorker and Chrysler Windsor, as well as a brief stint on the Newport Phaeton show car. Starting in the 1961 model year, the Newport became an independent model of entry-level cars. The first generation Newport was available in a wide range of body styles, including two or four door hardtop, sedan, convertible, and Town & Country station wagon. A choice of three V8 engine options were available (5.9L, 6.3L, 6.8L) before the end of production in 1964. The first generation Newport was replaced by the Second Generation Chrysler Newport.
