Newport was a name Chrysler used in several ways between 1940 and 1981. It began on a 1940 dual-cowl phaeton show car powered by the Chrysler Straight Eight, of which only a handful were built. From 1950 to 1956 it labelled any Chrysler model with a hardtop body, such as the New Yorker Newport. In 1961 it became a model of its own, a large and comfortable two- and four-door car priced below the New Yorker and the Chrysler 300, and for that first year it undercut the Windsor. The nameplate then served as Chrysler's lowest priced line until 1981, when the New Yorker and Fifth Avenue took over its place.
