1956 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible!

Only 921 Produced! Very Rare!

Believed to be 48,265 actual miles!

This is a beautiful 1956 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible that runs and drive excellent. It is truly a wonderful road car and runs super quiet. It is powered by a HEMI 354CI V8 and it is thought top be numbers matching. The body is in near perfect condition and the interior is in above average condition as well. The rarity of this car is what is exciting. From the articles I have been able to find, it is only 1 of 26 known to still exist. Please read the description carefully and ask any questions early.

Interior - The interior of this car is very nice in a white and black 2-tone color scheme. The dashboard paint is perfect and all of the interior chrome is in perfect as new condition. The leather on the seats and doors is about 7 years old and has some light color cracking and the white sections could use a re-dye if you want them to look brand new. The carpets are in great condition as are the trunk carpets. All of the gauges and interior lights are working. Even the "brake" light comes on when the handbrake is engaged. It has a Town and Country radio installed that does operate but takes a few minutes to come on. All of the necessary chrysler logos are installed and in great condition. This car even has the optional steering wheel clock installed. The steering wheel has 2 white handle from the factory that could be touched up and made whiter. 

Exterior - The exterior of this car is in truly fantastic condition. It was professionally restored from 2005-2007 and a few pictures are included. It was painted in Cloud White over Desert Rose, which are both factory colors. I am unsure if this is the original color combination and I am pretty sure the car was all Cloud White in the past. All of the exterior chrome is in almost perfect condition. The bumpers were replaced at the time of the restoration. There are some minor marks and scratches on the window trims and door trims, which are believed to be original to the car. There is not any pitting or peeling on the chrome. The seems on the hood, trunk and doors are even and the doors close without the lower door sticking out past the body. The paintwork is exceptional and there are no fisheyes, orange peel or cracking parts of the paintwork. The windows are all in great condition with no cracks or chips. It has chrome CHRYSLER lettering on the trunk lid and above the front grille that is in great condition as well. The upper edge of the gas door does have 2 very tiny chips from opening it a tad too far. The convertible top needs replacing because the rear window has peeled away, so I have ordered a correct replacement top for it. The top can be installed prior to shipping the car or sent afterwards. Installation would be at my expense. 

Mechanical - The V8 HEMI engine on this car purrs and is extremely smooth. It is truly amazing that a 1956 car is this quiet and runs so much like a newer car. The original 4 barrel carburetor was just professionally rebuilt and there are no issues starting the car. The spark plugs and plug wires were just replaced as well. There are some minor oil and transmission fluid drops under the car as with all old cars. The TorqueFlite transmission shifts smoothly in all gears including reverse. It also is operated through a push button panel on the left side of the steering wheel that works seamlessly. The battery was just replaced with a correct specification Interstate battery. This car has power steering that is easy to turn and makes no noise. There is some minor play in the steering wheel as with most older cars. The Whitewall tires were installed during the restoration and still have the rubber nubs on them. The Whitewall sections are slightly yellowed from age but it is only noticeable up close. The power brakes are in good condition and work as designed with no leaks, binding, locking up or squeaks. 

Electrical - Everything on this car works as designed. All of the lighting works and the lighting lenses are in great contain with no cracks or missing parts. This car does not have power windows or power seats, which is a good thing for a car this age. The convertible top is power and work as designed with no issues. There are no unusual wiring problems anywhere on this car that I was able to find. Under the hood, the wiring is meticulously installed and dressed up. The wipers, lighter and all interior dome lights and back seat lights work as designed. 

This is truly rare and unusual find that does not come around that often. Although I am unsure of the original ownership, I do know that it was owned by the prior owner since 2001 and the owner before him owned it for nearly 30 years. I know it was maintained it's whole life and was never a basket case or rust bucket. In fact, the last owner drove it 70 miles home when bought it back in 2001. The title does show the miles listed above, is clear and is in my name. 

Please e-mail me all your questions and I will respond quickly and honestly. You are welcome to inspect the car prior to the end of the auction and third party inspections can be arranged. Only bid if you intent to purchase this car. Please have the funds ready to go when the auction ends.

Chrysler Recalls 350K Vehicles To Fix Ignition Switches

Thu, Sep 25 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 350,000 cars and SUVs to fix ignition switches that could unexpectedly shut off the engines. The recall covers 2008 Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee SUVs, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans, and Dodge Magnum wagons. All were built before May 12, 2008. Chrysler says the ignitions may not fully return to the "on" position after being started. The switches could move to "accessory" or "off." That could shut off the engine and knock out power-assisted steering and other features. Chrysler knows of one crash and no injuries from the problem. It's telling people to use the key alone in the ignition and confirm that switches have returned to "on" after starting their cars. Chrysler is investigating the cause. Customers will be notified when repairs are ready. Related Gallery The Trucks And SUVs Consumers Are Liking Most View 11 Photos

Fiat Chrysler's Marchionne being treated in Zurich

Mon, Jul 23 2018

ZURICH — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne was being treated in a Zurich hospital on Sunday with a serious illness after suffering complications following shoulder surgery. A Fiat Chrysler spokesman confirmed Marchionne was in Zurich's University Hospital, one of Switzerland's largest medical centers. The FCA spokesman did not give the 66-year-old Italian-Canadian executive's condition or say in which of the hospital's 43 divisions he was being treated. Italian news outlets said he has been in a coma since Friday, is breathing with the help of a ventilator, and that attempts to have him breath on his own were unsuccessful. Fiat Chrysler named its Jeep division boss Mike Manley on Saturday to take over immediately from Marchionne, who had been due to step down next April. SGS, the Swiss logistics services company, also announced on Sunday that it had named a new acting chairman to take over for Marchionne, since his illness prevented him from fulfilling the role's obligations. SGS said in a statement it was "deeply saddened" by the news, as did Lausanne, Switzerland-based Philip Morris International, where Marchionne is also on the board. Marchionne was credited with rescuing Fiat and Chrysler from bankruptcy after taking the Italian carmaker's wheel in 2004. On Saturday he was also replaced as chairman and CEO of Ferrari and chairman of tractor maker CNH Industrial — both spun off from FCA in recent years. In additional management changes linked to Marchionne's illness, Ferrari named FCA Chairman and Agnelli family scion John Elkann as new chairman and Louis Camilleri becomes chief executive.

Sell your own: 1969 Plymouth Barracuda

Mon, May 22 2017

Looking to sell your car? We make it easy and free. Quickly create listings with up to six photos and reach millions of buyers. Log in and create your free listings. Always the "third" element in Detroit's Big Three, Chrysler and its Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler divisions, usually played catchup to GM and Ford. However, Plymouth actually arrived to the ponycar segment on time, with its launch of the Valiant-based Barracuda almost on top of Ford's Mustang. That said, the segment became named for ponies, not an aggressive fish. By 1969, the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro were becoming bigger and more sophisticated. The Barracuda, by contrast, held on to its essential simplicity. We'd prefer the fastback and a small-block V8, but in the context of 2017 collectible-car values for Mopar, even a Slant Six coupe with unknown mileage might be worth checking out. From the supplied pics, this '69 Cuda looks to be in good condition; if it weren't, the asking price would likely be south of $10,000 – not north. Scarcity's not an issue, so this Barracuda would seem well-suited for the resto-mod treatment (above and beyond the aftermarket hood scoops), while keeping the post-purchase investment as minimal as the original outlay.
