Hi Mike,

#9 assembly plant is Canada. the 1964 "Saratoga 300 " was built in Canada only and is a non-letter version 300 similar to the US built non-letter 300-Sport series. The front fenders carry the Saratoga script just behind the headlights, the grille has the standard 300 grille, the body side trim is identical to the US built 300 Sport series and the original engine was a 383. The Saratoga was produced in Canada through 1964, but discontinued in the USA after 1960. The Canadian s from 61 through 64 were the Windsor, Saratoga and New Yorker. The Windsor corresponded to the US built Newport, while the Saratoga was the mid priced , and New Yorker was at the top of the heap. In 1964 the Saratoga became a 300-Sport series in Canada carrying both nameplates. Unusual to say the least. There were many differences between Canadian built Chrysler products over the years.

For instance, ( this example is for 1962 ) I personally own a 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport series that was built in the USA ( I live in Canada). It is a SC2-M. In Canada the SC2-M was the Saratoga which were built as four door sedans, four door hardtops and 2 door hardtops. The US built 300 Sport that year did not build any four door sedans - only 2 and four door hardtops and convertibles, while there were no Saratoga convertibles built in Canada. When I see production figures listed for 1962, it lists all Canada and USA production together, but lists them only as Newport, 300 and New Yorker. Of the totals there are 1,801 300 four door sedans listed - but in reality these are Canadian Saratogas. Confused yet ? The total production listed for the 300 Sport series is 25,020 with no breakdown between Canada and US production, so just how many were Saratogas and how many were 300s is anybody's guess.

The photo attached is a 62 Saratoga, which looks like a US Newport but also has front fendertop moldings, and also carries 61 Dodge wheelcovers and did all 1962 Canadian 62 Windsors and Saratogas. The Windsors used abbreviated side trim similar to the 300 which ended in the centre of the front doors.

Also, the Canadian 1964 Saratoga 300 used the headlamp surround of the Windsor, and not the 1963 rings as the American 300 series did. The Canadian 1964 Windsor reciprocated in that it used the Saratoga 300 upper trim sweep and not the single side trim as used on the American Newport.

For body style production :

300 (American) :

2-door hardtop - 9,289

4-door hardtop - 9,676

2-door convertible - 1,705

Saratoga 300 (Canadian) :

4-door sedan - 2,078

2-door hardtop - 1,090

4-door hardtop - 1,784
