1955 Chrysler St Regis on 2040-cars
Lake George, New York, United States
Chrysler New Yorker St Regis Deluxe I want everyone to please note that in my eyes this is a really nice driver for local shows and cruises. I am overly critical and I would rather underestimate the condition than to overstate it. I would agree with the Hagerty Evaluation tool I would agree that this is a number 3 Hagerty. Please Google Hagerty Evaluation Tool for the infomation. Their price is much higher than my reserve . Please do not ask for reserve price. With that being said this restoration was sole sentimental. The car was located in a garage in Maine, and it needed everything. While the car was relatively rust free from being stored inside it was all original inside and out!
OD reads 76k plus While I cannot prove this be true .. from my experience believe it is so based on the originality of the car inside and out and condition. By original I mean every mechanical component had to either be replaced/reconditioned since it was all original.The car was redone inside and out and as you can see turns heads. I am only going to list the highlights because the list is very extensive.
Please note. While overhauling the entire brake system it was discovered that sometime in the past the right rear brake hub was changed to a 1957 chrysler. Exra brake shoes will be included. if you might need them . I am sure you can see where things are All the chrome and emblems replaced with either NOS/really nice used or rechromed by Paul's Chrome($3500) I have many extras that will come with the car including
With all this begin said much as been left out to keep auction somewhat manageable.
Runs as good as it looks.
All that it needs is just some tinkering if the new owner wants to as example connecting 6 volt spotlight lights.I did by pass the heater core while working on the car but have not reconnected... Town and County radio not working . extra radio for parts with car.
Please note the HI Way HIFI is for Prop use only. It does come with a few records and as you should know 1955 was 6 volt and HI way HI FI began in 56 as 12 volt.
Most Bills and a photo history as well as an extensived recorded history from Chrysler of this particular car including photo of build sheet Finally. The car was worked on by an old school mechanic who rebuilt bumper to bumper his own 55 New Yorker so please understand this was done as it should.
So much as been done and I am sure I have left much out but you get the idea. The car needs to be driven and showed off something I am not doing and sitting in the garage is not in the best interest of the car Questions please ask but I must make this clear as I idid with all my other ebay sales. I am respresenting this as a really nice driver. USA BIDDERS ONLY.... I will accept cash or wire Transfer to my bank only NO CHECKS but a $500 noreturnable deposit to pay pal will be required within 24 hours of auction. The car is Located at zip 12845 Lake George NY for you transportation quote. Please be sure to use a reliable transporter Pay a bit more and be happy .
The car is being sold AS IS WHERE is. There is no Guarentee or a warrentee with this ale in any form so please be sure you understand the terms so you will be happy with your purchase |

GM, Chrysler bailouts saved 2.6 million jobs
Tue, 10 Dec 2013
The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) has been studying the effects of the General Motors and Chrysler bailouts in 2009. Now that the US Treasury has officially sold off the rest of its stake in GM (and Chrysler has already paid back its loan), CAR has released its study on the effects of the bailout with this concluding note: "CAR is confident that in the years ahead, this peacetime intervention in the private sector by the US government will be seen as one of the most successful in US economic history."
Big words, for sure, but there's plenty of evidence to back up the claim. Bailing out GM alone saved 1.2-million jobs. If both GM and Chrysler hadn't been bailed out, US employment would have been reduced by 2.631-million jobs in 2009 and another 1.519-million jobs in 2010, according to the study. If both automakers were allowed to fail, personal income in the US would have decreased by $173.5 billion in 2009 and $110.9 billion in 2010. Instead, the study found that $284.4 billion of personal income was saved by the bailouts.
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.
