    My uncle was in the car advertising business, he told me there was a special class of models and actors who were used for car ads. They were tiny people but who looked like average sized people. You could only tell they were smaller than normal when photographed with average sized people. They were great for car ads because they make the car look so roomy. You see them especially in wagons and back seats.

The dual air was also offered on 63 and 64 Chrysler New Yorker Salons and Imperial Le Barons..the latter beyond 1964.

      An entire family in my neighborhood were killed as they returned from their cottage on a Sunday afternoon in their family station wagon. Their's was a Ford with the bench "jump seat" that faced out the back with the power window tailgate. Three children under age 10 were seated in the "jump seat", at least until the accident occurred. The children's bodies were mangled beyond recognition before they were thrown from the vehicle, so there was five closed caskets at the funeral.

    It had to have been the hit-and-miss quality control that hurt Chrysler so much, 'cause if you watch the video, their products were objectively better in most comparisons. Here's what I mean: Interior space, cargo capacity and (usually) accessibility, drivetrain choices, and I'm sure there's something I'm missing. I know the others usually had higher-output TOP engines, but there were relatively few of the hot models bought. Ex.: SS version vs. regular Chevy model; GS version vs. regular Buick; GT version vs. regular Ford models. If you're comparing mid-range Mopar vs. Ford vs. GM, Mopar SHOULD have done better. As far as styling, that's really a personal-taste thing.

      I still have a Consumer Reports my parents bought in 1969 with a comparison of "mid priced" full size cars. They seemed to like the Chrysler Newport better than the others for everything but noise, but when they inspected all 5, the others had understandable defects like window cranks that worked loose and sticky throttles, while the Newport was built with the wrong panel behind the rear lights, with access holes that didn't match the fixture locations, so someone in the factory hacked away the metal to make room for the Newport's fixtures leaving them jagged and leaky, ready to cut anyone wanting to fit a tight package or change a bulb. Talk about self-generated bad PR.

    What we have here is a dealer information presentation. The idea is to provide the dealer with information to sell the automobile. The automobile the dealer will be selling is the Dodge station wagon automobile. The more Dodge station wagon automobiles the dealer sells the more money he and the motor company will make. From the directors of the company in the corporate boardroom to the workers on the assembly line to the janitor back in the service area where the mechanics at the dealership stink up the toilet, everyone will make more money if the dealer sells the Dodge station wagon automobile. Particularly thankful for the dealer selling the Dodge station wagon automobile will be the dealer’s wife and children who depend on the dealer selling the automobile for food and shelter. Finally, and in some ways most noteworthy, the dealer will not get chewed out and/or fired in the backroom if the dealer sells the Dodge station wagon automobile.
