Make a great driver.

 This has a round steering wheel, didn’t the Newport have the rectangle wheel? Or was that an option. My son has a 64 with the rectangle steering wheel and a chrome strip across the roof with a different color paint on the front of the roof.

Beautiful? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and condition-wise I just don't see it here. Near perfect stainless moldings, so what? Pics show no battery and a dusty engine compartment.........been sitting awhile, running or not running? Trunk interior not impressive at all. This base model is not $5K worth, a non-letter series 300 or New Yorker coupe might be a better choice for a fix-up. More like a $1200 very ambitious project and that's if the right guy comes along. And that shot of the rusty left rear wheelwell in the CL ad.......Ouch!  Exactly how rusty is this thing?
