I purchased this vehicle last year. It is a 2nd series 1949 New Yorker club coupe. This is an extremely rare vehicle to find available. It is 100% all original. Original paint, original interior and original Spitfire 323 Straight 8. Here is the back story: This was owned by a family in southwest Wisconsin for years. The owner took it into a local restoration shop for maintenance including a valve job and brakes. Then the fellow passed away and the car sat inside storage for 10 + years. I then became aware of it and purchased it and brought it to central Iowa.
The body on this car wears it's original paint and is arrow straight. Most glass is good, but I believe the front passenger glass (door) has cracks and would need replaced.
THERE IS ONE TRIM PIECE MISSING which has not been located and that is the stainless spear on the drivers door. That's it.
The pot metal surely needs rechromed but you can do it a bit at a time. Some chorme is driver quality - it just all depends on what you are after. An easy car to restore or an all original gem.
INTERIOR: The interior - in my opinion - is amazing but you may think otherwise. Original carpet, front seat is original and nice, back seat top has issue on the top near the package tray and needs reupholstery but bottom is OK. There is staining in the lighter color fabrics but they can be cleaned up. The dash pad (1st year for dash pad) needs recovered in leather or vinyl BUT the good part is the foam has integrity and can be used. Dash instrument cluster is OK, some grazing on steering wheel horn button but OK.
ENGINE: With some coaxing, this car should run. It ran 10+ years ago after the valve job, per the shop owner . Now, it would be a good idea to drop the gas tank and clean it out or have it resealed and go through the lines. Needs a battery. My plan is to take this to a professional restoration shop if no one else wants it.
NO TITLE
Why am I selling it? In 2012 I purchased 7 vehicles for whatever reason. This is one I want to keep, but I am putting ALL up for sale and seeing what shakes out. This is BY FAR the best non running car I have and it's a straight forward process to get a bonded title in Iowa or elsewhere.
What else? Take a look at all the high resolution photos and you too will be amazed at the original condition of this super rare car. Maybe 3-4 are offered in any one year and few have survived in this condition. This is not a 6 cyl Windsor, this is the top of the line long wheelbase New Yorker. Don't miss this opportunity.
I am always available for questions. Also on Craigslist for sale. Bryan 515-520-2611

Ram confirms Fiat Ducato vans to form new Promaster series for US
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Chrysler has officially confirmed that Ram will develop an all-new large van for the US market based on the Fiat Ducato. The commercial rig will go on sale in the third quarter of next year, joining the Ram C/V on the company's professional van line. Expect to see the Promaster face off against the Ford Transit and revised Chevrolet Express.
Chrysler is pretty skimpy on details when it comes to the Promaster, but it has said the vehicle will make use of "familiar Ram Truck styling cues." The van will reportedly also bow with powertrains targeted specifically at the North American market.
Chrysler and Ram made the announcement ahead of the LA Auto Show alongside news that the company will launch a new Ram commercial truck division.
Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
2015 Chrysler 200S AWD
Mon, 02 Jun 2014I love road trips. Honestly, one of the best parts about this job is the freedom we're given to experience the open road, whether at new car launches or while bombing around with whatever we're testing on our home turf. But the longer-form road trip is equally special to me, and it's something I'm always eager to do. Air travel stinks - that's not news. So if I can drive, I will. And without our dear TSA to fight with, I can pack all the chainsaws and gallon jugs of chocolate milk that I want.
So when it came time to attend the 2014 New York Auto Show this past April, I thought, "Why not drive?" Typically, the route from downtown Detroit to Manhattan is something like 10 hours, but I decided to bake some extra time into the journey and planned for the vast majority of my travels to be off the beaten path. Doing the "avoid expressways" route allows you to see parts of America you've never encountered before, and to meet people with stories and opinions that you've never heard. It's a great way to travel if you have the time. There's something uniquely serene about seeing the country in a great car on a great road.
Let's talk about that "great car" line for a moment. Ideally, long stretches of backroads are best done in something fast, comfortable and involving - a Porsche 911 comes to mind. Or, another school of thought says to pick some fun little spitfire like the always-lovely Mazda MX-5 Miata, for top-down, sun-drenched fun. But for this trip, I chose the 2015 Chrysler 200, in fully loaded S guise with all-wheel drive. Now, settle down; I'm not about to compare it to either the Porsche or Mazda. The point I'm making is this: after 1,500 test miles under my butt, I can emphatically state that the new 200 is indeed a great car in its own right.
