GENERAL:

Very nice original 1962 Chrysler New Yorker.

While not considered a "classic", this vehicle is still a great looking car of the care-free early sixties.  Her name is Ethyl (though you can rename her).

Vehicle has been owned by me and garage stored (covered) for the last 7 years.

This was a running and driving car with working everything when I last used it. But that was a while ago.  I haven't started the engine in a few years. So the only thing wrong with the car would be time and lack of use.

Please review the pictures. Contact me with any or all questions and I will try to answer them.


EXTERIOR:

The car has no visible rust. There are a few small bubble spots. Also some flaking/rub areas were the paint is off from the metal.

Paint is Rosewood (taupey pink color).  The paint on the sides of the vehicle is in better shape than the top surfaces.  The hood and trunk surfaces have had the paint marred.  It is cloudy and scratched up.  It looks like someone who didn't know what they were doing took an orbital polisher to the surface.

This is a very solid car.  All trim is present. All doors, hood and trunk panels fit well and close tight.

The Chrysler New Yorker emblem in the front grill is missing.  Reproduction emblems can be ordered online.

Radio antenna has been removed/broken (?) off.  But is still with vehicle and fits back on the exterior mount.

Rear Glass has been previously replaced.


 INTERIOR:

The interior is in overall good shape but upholstery needs cleaning. Of coarse smells musty due to age. There is one tear w/ tape on it on the drivers seat back cushion at the bottom. 

Headliner has holes: middle by sun visors, by passenger side front and rear, and in the rear back on both sides. Carpet has the normal wear and tear and looks like it has properly been replaced.

Dash/Odometer has the clear dome panel..Pushbutton Transmission Gears.  All switches and buttons are present and working.


ENGINE:

Engine is a 413.  The times I've run it, it wants to go like a bat out of hell.

I never did any work on the engine and can't tell you much about it.

Battery should have been disconnected, but was not.


 CONCERNS:

Tires: Probably need replacement. I'm not sure how old they are.  They went flat from sitting, but when filled they hold the air again.

Exhaust: The exhaust has a plastic/rubber tube in place of an exhaust pipe.

Fuel:  The previous owner was out of gas to show/run the vehicle, so he put some mix (oil/gas) in instead.  Vehicle exhausted black smoke.  The fuel tank would probably need to be drained/cleaned. 


EXTRAS:

There are several spare parts in a box.

There are two rear taillight lenses and one taillight chrome bracket trim.

2 Chrome trim pieces - not really sure where they go.

Carpet fabric for trunk.

Extra chrome vent strips.

Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston

Fri, Sep 1 2017

DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.

Huge Canadian sinkhole destroys four-lane road, swallows car

Fri, Jun 10 2016

A major thoroughfare in the Canadian capital city of Ottawa was closed after a huge sinkhole opened beneath it. According to the CBC, the sinkhole appeared around mid-morning on Wednesday on Rideau Street near its intersection with Sussex Drive. The sinkhole, which initially formed over an unstable vein of sand, silt, and fractured rock, quickly spread across all four lanes of Rideau Street. A high-pressure natural gas line and a water main were shattered by the road collapse, filling the deep hole with water, gas, and fumes and forcing the evacuation of numerous surrounding buildings. All traffic save for buses and taxis had already been banned from the area due to excavation for a light rail station, but a Chrysler minivan parked along Rideau street fell into the hole as it expanded. Construction workers working in the light rail site evacuated safely once the road began collapsing, and no injuries were reported. Ottawa mayor Jim Watson told The Guardian that there was no sure way to tell how long repairs to Rideau Street would take. "It's a significant sinkhole in the downtown core. It has a major impact on our largest retail shopping center, one of our major hotels as well as one of the busiest intersections and bus routes." This is the second sinkhole to appear in downtown Ottawa in recent years. In 2014, a nearly thirty-foot wide sinkhole caused by excavation for the light rail system opened just a few blocks away from Rideau and Sussex. Watson stated that it is too soon to say whether or not Wednesday's sink hole was related to light rail construction. "We can't confirm whether the tunnel had any impact on the sinkhole or whether it was a water main break or whether it was a leak of some type that destabilized the soil." Watson went on to say that he hoped that city officials would be able to pinpoint the exact cause of the collapse soon.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
