This car is already a memory for me, in the late 90's my wife saw a really nice Desoto wagon at a car show and suggested we get something like that. For the next two years I watched the class adds and Hemmings Motor News for a 'tail fin' wagon. Finally saw an add for this '61 Chrysler Newport in Sacramento. It was a solid car, just needed basic interior and paint. I added Vintage Air AC and when a friend told me about an old Offenhauser tri carb intake for sale on Ebay I snagged it for the 361 and added a trio of Holley 94's. Used the car for transportation for several years and then sold it. It was just too big to scoot around town in and Nancy wanted something a little more nimble and convenient to drive. Always got looks!
