Chrysler Corp. considered a good range of full-sized, six-passenger sedans as essential to the new-car market place as a wide variety of smaller cars.
Chrysler’s large R-body spanned 11.5 inches of wheelbase, carried six passengers in comfort, had a 21.3 cu.-ft flat-floored trunk, and was marketed in four distinct car lines: Plymouth Gran Fury, Dodge St. Regis, Chrysler Newport and New Yorker, all four-door pillared sedans.
The St. Regis Touring Edition boasted not only a long list of standard items like power steering, TorqueFlite, steel radials, tinted glass and chimes, but also offered leather/vinyl seats, aluminum wheels, special striping, power windows, wood-tone instrument trim and leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The Open Road handling package would be available for all full-sized sedans. And all Chrysler Corp. cars shared the optional five-year/50,000 mile service contract.
