Chrysler NewportArguably the first Chrysler to be downsized and tread in Dodge territory, the Newport was a real success story for Chrysler but may have devalued the brand
New Yorker Brougham 1976-78The final Imperial grille is grafted onto the existing New Yorker, and Imperial standard features become options to make one of the most luxurious Chryslers in history - for a little while.

Lots of troubleshooting
and "quick fix" information, as well as development stories. Heavy
coverage of these vehicles outside the US - in Europe, South Africa,
Australia, Canada, and New Zealand - all on a separate, dedicated A-body site.
BarracudaThe famous muscle car...and the earlier, partly-forgotten Eurostyle sports cars.
BelvedereWe have an extensive review of the innovative and
trend-setting 1955 Belvedere, and lots of information on the later years as well, through the 1970s when the Belvedere spawned the Road Runner and GTX.

DusterThe incredible success story - from a tiny budget to massive sales - of the 1970-76 Plymouth Duster; also covers the Volare Duster, Turismo Duster, and Sundance Duster.

rip out the insulation and any other forms of weight, put in a good if
bone-jarring suspension and exceedingly powerful engine, and you have a
decent priced, incredibly fast car. Then simply apply the name to a
Fury and a Volare...

large page, even without graphics, so give it some time. Some Volare
Road Runner information.
