Engine options and horsepower were down: 185/205-bhp 400 V-8s for Newport and Newport Custom, 230/275-bhp 440s for T&C wagons, New Yorker, and New Yorker Brougham. After '75, Imperial actually became a Brougham via the badge-engineering so long practiced by Chrysler -- to the confusion of customers up and down the corporate line. Sales fell to around 177,000 for 1970-71, but recovered to nearly 205,000 for '72, then to 234,000-plus. Nevertheless, Chrysler still couldn't seem to beat Cadillac, trailing GM's flagship every year in 11th place. Sales lost to the non-letter 300s is what killed them, of course. Chrysler did very well for 1965, selling over 125,000 Newports, nearly 30,000 non-letter 300s and almost 50,000 New Yorkers. The all-new "fuselage-styled" '69s did almost as well. One theory is that the captain mistakenly thought it was about to sink, so they abandoned ship for a lifeboat and drowned at sea. After following theory until move 20, it was apparent, given the clock times, that Giri was better prepared to face this line than his opponent.

Mamedyarov's greedy decision on move 18 was a turning point in the game: And Action! 3''. If a winner has not emerged, the players will go to an Armageddon game, with 5 minutes for White and 4 minutes for Black (a 2-second increment will be used from move 61), with Black having draw odds. Artists will include Liz Glynn, Thomas Houseago, Shio Kusaka, Pedro Reyes, and Diana Thater, among others. The event series will showcase the world's best chess players, each with compelling stories, in a completely new and attractive format for media, spectators, and consumers. With eleven rounds to play, that surely can’t happen this time, but high finishers will need to maximise their scores in earlier rounds against players in the 2600-2700 bracket, which will require something more incisive than the cagey strategy often employed in closed events. The Blitz tournament is on June 24 and 25, with nine rounds on each day, starting at 14:00h. The total prize fund is $150,000! As of now, nine players have the most realistic chances of fighting for the title - those with a tally of 4½ or 5 points. Messrs. Isotta and Fraschini bowed out of the firm's affairs in 1922. The succeeding ownership, headed by Count Lodovico Mazzotti, undertook negotiations with none other than Henry Ford in 1930-1931 for a manufacturing deal that could have pumped new life into the Milanese factory's car-making operations.

The LeBaron line now listed base, Medallion, and new midrange Salon models plus woody-look T&C wagons, none substantially altered. None of these were quite the stormers that previous 300s were, but they remained the most roadable Chryslers and among the best handling of all big Detroiters. The 300s adopted it for 1967, when a 375-hp version was added. Save the pillared sedan (only 1801 built, all for export), these Chrysler 300s were quite popular at prices in the $3300-$3800 range. Not only was Chrysler near bankruptcy, it was in "a state of anarchy," as laccoca wrote later in his best-selling auto­biography. Quality control had become an end in itself as engineers struggled to correct Chrysler Corporation's poor reputation in that area. By this point, a gathering financial crisis was threatening Chrysler Corporation's very existence. For 1979, Chrysler issued downsized big sedans on a 118.5-inch wheelbase: six and V-8 Newport and V-8-only New Yorker and New Yorker Fifth Avenue.

All typically came with vinyl upholstery instead of the cloth-and-vinyl of Newport sedans. The Salon came with such standard luxuries as air conditioning; AM/FM radio; "Auto Pilot" speed control; power brakes, steering, seats, and windows; TorqueFlite; and color-keyed wheel covers and vinyl roof. A well-equipped Newport 440 hardtop also arrived with TorqueFlite, vinyl roof, and other extras as standard. New for '71 was a low-priced Newport Royal subseries with standard 255-bhp 360 V-8, an enlarged version of the corporate small-block engine introduced in the mid-'60s. A stroked 400-cid version of the 383, more adaptable to emissions tuning, opening ceremony scissors replaced it for '72, then disappeared with the 360 and all Royal models. The 440s stood pat for 1968-69, but the 383s were retuned to 290 and 330 bhp, this despite the advent of federal emissions standards. Engine choices for '65 involved 270- and 315-bhp 383s for Newport and 300, a 413 with 340 or 360 bhp for New Yorker and 300L. The more-potent 383 gained 10 horses for '66, when a huge 440 big-block arrived as standard New Yorker fare, rated at 350 bhp. The '73s gained blockier lower-body sheet metal and a more-conventional front, with bigger bumpers per federal requirement. TV by actor Ricardo Montalban, cost extra.
