Do any of our Mopar fans out there know where I can find out how many a decent scattering is? This is the information on production numbers for the 1962 Chrysler Newport wagon off the alpar site.... The Newport itself was now finless; it had the last TorqueFlite transmission with a built in parking brake, but now the TorqueFlite had a lighter, smaller aluminum case. This, combined with better engine efficiency, resulted in a 7% gas mileage hike. The Newports were fairly massive but not as hefty as one might think, weighing in at 3,705 - 3,780 pounds (wagons were 4,125 - 4,185 pounds). Around 55,000 four-door sedans were sold, as well as nearly 12,000 coupes and a decent scattering of other body styles. The New Yorker continued on its long wheelbase, selling 19,000 units or so, mostly four door sedans; it was similar to the prior year except for a new, 300-like grille. These long vehicles weighted in at nearly 4,000 pounds, with the wagon topping 4,325 lb; only 728 six-passenger wagons and 793 nine-passenger wagons were sold.
