1971 Chrysler Royal commercial

I loved those ads. Don't ever take them down You Tube! These cars looked great and their ads were the best. Unfortunately their quality was terrible. My dad had the '71 Newport Custom. The rear end sang like a choir when he took his foot off the gas pedal and the engine shook the whole car when idling at a stop light. The wind noise was unbeliveably loud.

Great video!

Chryco tries to con you into thinking youre driving a New Yorker when really youre driving a base newport with "royal" badges on it. lol.

My parents had a 1971 Newport Custom. I remember it was almost identical to the Chrysler Royal. I gotta admit it lasted forever...lol. My dad kept it until 1997 and then traded it in for a Buick Skylark.

The Newport had a front end. The one shown in this ad is clearly a New Yorker style grille.

when this car came out, gas was about 28 cents a gallon. IT's only about 5 metric tons of steel in this barge that could run the 1/4 mile in a cool 21 seconds ... a true tuna boat that will demand the respect of your friends!

Ah, but for the days when American autos were all-American and the size of an aircraft carrier, and gas didn't cost nearly a dollar a gallon...

I don't ever remember seeing the Royal mentioned anywhere? Was it a Newport sub-trim or a separate model? The only Royals I'm familiar with are the ones produced from +/-1939 to around 1950 or 51.

I will never buy another Chrysler, My Town Country went thru 3 auto trans, that's really suck.

That's easy... I use different source material. I don't "lift" other videos off of YouTube and "clean" them. This clip came off a 2" off-air recording from 1971. Oh, and I posted this in Sept 2007. The other copy was posted in Jan 2008.
