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 recalling 49K Chargers for headlight components

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Chrysler has issued a recall for about 49,375 2011 and 2012 Dodge Chargers with halogen headlamps due to a problem with the lights. The automaker says that there could be an issue with the jumper harness and other related components.
The automaker says that 43,450 cars are affected in the US, 2,850 in Canada, 375 in Mexico and 2,700 outside of North America. The vehicles will have their headlight assemblies, including the jumper harnesses and bulbs, inspected and potentially replaced. Dodge says that its engineers investigated reports of that were similar to what was found when it recalled about 10,000 police Chargers in 2012 for overheating light components. There have been no injuries or accidents related to fault, according to Chrysler.
The automaker will be in contact with affected owners, and schedule the service. Naturally, any repairs will be free of charge. Scroll down for the company's full announcement.

The 2017 Pacifica Hybrid is finally heading to dealers after delays

Wed, Apr 19 2017

Did you order a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid some time ago? Chances are you might be getting it soon-ish. Production of the hybrid Pacificas started way back in December, but for an undisclosed reason FCA chose not to ship the finished cars to dealers. It hints of a hitch somewhere in the production, but perhaps it's best for the manufacturer to get the cars right the first time rather than face customer wrath. Detroit Free Press says the minivans started shipping to dealers on Monday, after months of delays, and that there have been 700 orders for the Pacifica Hybrid by April 7th. As a FCA representative said to DFP: "As with all launches, but particularly in the case of this technically advanced vehicle, we are taking great care to ensure that the Pacifica Hybrid comes off the line with the highest quality possible. We will only introduce a vehicle when we are fully satisfied the vehicle meets or exceeds customer expectations." FCA hasn't disclosed how many of the delayed hybrids have been shipped. Any customer who has ordered a Pacifica Hybrid before March 30 th is eligible for either a Visa gift card worth $500 or a 240-volt Level 2 charger, which should charge the van's li-ion batteries in two hours. The Pacifica Hybrid is the first plug-in hybrid vehicle in its class, and it reportedly has a range of 566 miles, returning 84 mpg.

NHTSA investigates a million-plus Jeep Cherokees for parking brake issue

Tue, Jul 26 2022

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating a potential safety issue that could be present in more than 1 million Jeep Cherokees sold for the 2014-2020 model years. Per owner complaints, these cars may be equipped with an electronic parking brake control module that is susceptible to water intrusion. If the water causes a short, it can result in uncommanded activation of the parking brake while the vehicle is in motion, which can lead to a stall, NHTSA says.  If you follow Jeep Cherokee news closely (and who doesn't?), this issue may ring a bell. That's because Jeep was on the hook for recalling the Cherokee for water intrusion into the liftgate control module, which is fitted right next to the parking brake module. In that instance, short circuits had the potential to cause a fire, which has not so far been indicated as a potential side effect of the new parking brake issue, but any time electricity is involved, there's usually at least some risk for ignition.  The Cherokee is just one of four Stellantis models with a new open investigation, the Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday. NHTSA is also looking into reports of a transmission problem that could strand owners of 2019-2021 Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid minivans and a crankshaft and/or camshaft position sensor problem that could cause a stall in the 2016 Dodge Journey and Jeep Compass. Between the two, these investigations cover an additional 300,000 vehicles.  None of these vehicles are being recalled at this point, however a NHTSA investigation is the first major step toward a recall being initiated. The regulator will work with Stellantis to determine whether a recall is necessary.  Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
