Yes...that cluster really made a statement, and was strongly back-lit at night. Chrysler di some great things with their futuristic interiors...but for some reason, Chrysler products would rust out after just a few years. The 62 models were a sort of "transition model" style-wise...the 63-64 models had an almost brutish, wedge-shape to them....But in 1965, Chrysler did a great re-style, that served them well for several years. And those 413ci engines were excellent!
@@curbozerboomer1773 I love the '65 models - sophisticated and elegant, with neat details like glass in front of the headlights. The Imperials were also exceptional around that time. '67 and '68 Chryslers and Imperials were okay, but the fuselage '69s and beyond were not my cup of tea.
My Stepdad had a 62 Newport, I remember getting shocked tuning the Radio one night when the lights were on!, And the illumination was also flickering so it had a loose connection., For years I never understood how I got shocked so hard from 12V!, Then learned way later that Lectro-Lumination they used had a Ballast/Transformer that upped the voltage to somewhere around 100V! That Car ended up catching Fire right after he sold it and I always figured it was a short in that Dash Lighting!, It sure looked so cool lit up at night!
Had almost identical car here in Winnipeg. It was dark brown with a white roof. 383 engine, automatic, power steeting and brakes. Brown interior. It was an excellent car
The Car is very striking and handsome love the review showing all the design details this is in excellent shape for its age please fix all the floors so that it stays in great condition its a keeper Its two years younger than me ❤
What a lovely car. If I lived closer, had the cash and the room, I would jump on that. I'm a big fan of the push button automatic, and the 383 is a strong, reliable engine, as is the 727 Torqueflite transmission.
Beautiful Saratoga 😍 I love the extra trim compared to the 62 New Yorker we had in the early 60s. We also had a 62 Dart and a 61 Savoy Suburban. Each had the intimidating face and canted headlights which I love 🤗
It's missing the black ribbed trim piece on the front fenders between the two chrome strips. Our 62 had a Chrysler script on it. My parents bought abbrand new 1962 Chrysler Newport in May 1962. There's was a 2 door hardtop. White with red highland interior. It was an amazing family car that was taken out by a drunk driver on November 3, 1972. Loved the Astradome instrument cluster at night. It was a sight to see.
This was the equivalent of a 300 down in the states even though it used the same grille as the lower line Windsor.....The area just aft of the signals should be painted black and contain a Chrysler emblem.....l May buy it.....
The 1958 Lincolns were the first to feature angled headlights.
I do love a ‘58 Lincoln
Love that Astradome instrument cluster! The ultimate design, IMO.

I will say Rusty, "I love your style of vidography, the editing and your part of the planet is gorgeous..."
Those canted quads!
Porta Walls! Never heard of those before. Pretty cool! Great video and beautiful car!

It's actually 270 VAC!

Quad lights weren’t mandated, just allowed.

Excellent video! Thanks for including the history. Very informative and fun to watch.
These are beautiful, gorgeous classic cars.
Exner's plucked chicken - it sure looks good today -

That’s a beautiful car
Absolutely brilliant.
Well, done video. Great shots and great editing.

Delighted that it has dual master cylinder brakes!
Not original but a great idea. I drove a lot of single master cylinder cars and at the time we never gave it a second thought.
My parents purchased a '62 Chrysler New Yorker station wagon when I was in grade school (it probably had a 413).
It did. The 413 was the standard engine for all Nee Yorker, Imperial, and 300 letter series.

FM radio wasn't offered in Chrysler cars til 1964, along with tilt wheel.
Pretty cool car
the 4 door hardtop is cool. Surprised its a 383 and not the more common 361...so thats a plus.
Only the cut-rate Newport series got the 361. Windsors and Saratoga got the 383.
Many, many years ago my older brother now deceased owned one it was black and just a great car.
I guess my Chrysler Dealer is out of stock.
Yes on back order I'm sure.
The usa dot did not "mandate" quad lights. They allowed them. Single lights were still allowed
Helpful correction. You are right.
Your sneakers match your car! Awesome. Do the directionals self cancel?
They do!
@@rustbucketredemption1944 That must've taken a lot of engineering to get that dash mounted directional control to self cancel.

1961 headlights are right from the 1959 Buick Electra 225, which had a "mean" look and were awesome.
I am in Washington..would you consider delivery in say..Bellingham? Or Blaine?....Lovely setting..
Absolutely. I’d be happy to drive down and meet you at the border.

The 62 Chevrolet was a much more beautiful vehicle. Especially with a 409!!
Interesting take.
