Along with the Thunderbolt roadster, the Newport was the flagship of Chrysler's styling efforts for 1941. The model was chosen as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500 that year, and this particular example with serial #1 may well be that pace car. Six of the dual-carburetor straight-8 Newports were built, and five are known to exist now. Actress Lana Turner was among those driving Newports when new.Also photographed at :
