One entirely new model, the Newport, has been introduced. This is known as a special club coupe, but in effect it is a hard top convertible available on both six and eight-cylinder chassis. It offers the sleek lines of a standard convertible, with the added safety provided by a fixed steel top. Chrysler's new self-energizing disk brakes are standard equipment on the Town and Country Newport, as well as on the Crown Imperial Im-perial models. Appearance improvements begin at the front bumper, which is wider and more massive, mas-sive, and are carried through to the rear bumper. Different styling features have been incorporated in-corporated in the sixes and in the eights, so that one is readily distinguished from the other at first glance. Among the points of difference between be-tween the two lines are the parking lights, the length of the molding on, 'the front fender, fen-der, the nameplate on the front of the radiator and the wheel cover. 15 Standard Body Colors Upholstery options have been increased and finer fabrics fab-rics are offered. Fifteen standard stand-ard body colors and four special spe-cial colors are available, nine of them entirely new. The new 12-inch diameter brakes adopted for the sixes have 15 per cent more lining contact area than the 11 -inch type formerly used. This results re-sults in lighter brake pedal pressure and greater reserve. |
