First view of the Chrysler Newport wagon from Neo
I really like the model and the color combination looks pretty good too. Does the roof line look a little thick though? Between rain gutter and the top of the windows. Or am I just nit pickin'!

Roof looks too thick to me as well. Maybe it needs a chrome drip rail moulding?

I've been waiting for this one. Its close but looks like you may be correct....PIC
The windows seem to be not high enough and the roof is too thick, at least by comparison to photos on the Web. These are of a longer wheelbase New Yorker but that should not make any difference:

You're right. B pillar too thick and windows too low.
I'll take it though.

There goes some more $! Must have for me - wish they had done it in the colors in Randall's pics.

Model looks right -- it's the 1:1 that has windows too low!

I like the color that it is being issued in but,
I too really like the two tone blue. Perhaps a later issue? You know how these companies like to reissue in new colors. Neo has done it many times.
