- 1). Locate the fender tag on the driver's side of the inner fender in the engine bay. The fender tag will always be clearly marked and located near the battery. The tag is a seven digit sequence followed by a serial number of varying digits.
- 2). Record the fender tag and access the Chrysler information page on Infinigral, a vintage car website. From the homepage, follow the links to "Cars," "Mopar Info" and "Fender Tags." On this website, you will find all the information you need regarding the fender tags of Chrysler models from this period.
- 3). Identify the first digit of the fender tag. This letter will correspond to the model of the car and read as "B," "C," "D," "L," "P," "R," "V," "W," "X," or "Y." The car is Chrysler Newport, so the first digit will be "C."
- 4). Identify the second digit. This letter corresponds to the price class of the model and will read "E," "L," "M," "H," "P," "S," "K," "T," or "O."
- 5). Identify the third and fourth digits. These will be two numbers and these refer to the body style of your Chrysler Newport. They will read as "21," "23," "27," "29," "41," "43," "45," or "46."
- 6). Identify the fifth digit of your fender tag. This will be a letter and refer to the type of engine in your car. It will read as "A," "B," "C," "D," "E," "F," "G," "H," "J," or "K."
- 7). Identify the sixth digit, which will correspond with the model year. Since your Newport is a 1966, it will be a 6.
- 8). Identify the seventh digit in the sequence. This will be a single number and is used to identify at which plant the car was produced. It will read as any number between 1 and 9.
- 9). Identify the final sequence of numbers on the fender tag. This will be a six-digit number that corresponds to the build number of your vehicle. For example, if the number reads 132546, your car was the 132,546th Chrysler Newport made on that line.
