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 112k family-haulers over airbag controllers

Sun, Feb 7 2016

The Basics: Chrysler has issued a recall for an array of minivans and crossovers manufactured in 2007 and 2008. The models affected include the 2009 Dodge Journey, 2008-09 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 2008-09 Chrysler Town and Country. The 2009 Volkswagen Routan, which was manufactured by Chrysler, is also being recalled by FCA. The automaker estimates that 112,001 units in the United States are affected, all told. The Problem: Corrosion in the air bag control unit could prevent the air bags from deploying in the event of a crash, or alternatively deploy prematurely. Chrysler points out that "none of the affected vehicles are equipped with ammonium-nitrate inflators" like those fitted by Takata. Injuries/Deaths: The manufacturer reports seven minor injuries (but no accidents) potentially related to this issue. The fix: Chrysler will replace the air bag control unit, though it has not yet outlined a timeframe for doing so. If you own one: Look for a recall notice in the mail and then schedule service with your local dealership. If you don't receive one, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number S07.

In the affected vehicles, the air bag control units may corrode and fail. CONSEQUENCE: If the air bag control unit fails, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury. Additionally, the air bags may inadvertently deploy, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control unit, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S07. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

2015 Chrysler 200 nets 10,000 orders in first day

Thu, 15 May 2014

Chrysler is having a "crazy impressive" launch for its 2015 200, claims company spokesperson Rick Deneau. Within the first two days of opening the order books, the Pentastar took over 17,000 requests for its swoopy new family sedan - 10,000 of them in the first day. The company says that's enough to keep its Sterling Heights, MI, factory running at full capacity through mid-July.
Deneau tells Autoblog that the last time he saw such an immediate popularity for a model was when Ram launched its 1500 EcoDiesel pickup. That truck sold out of its initial order allocation in just three days earlier this year. As you'd expect, "most of these are dealer orders," Deneau admits. In other words, they're not necessarily coming at the behest of individual customer, but that's standard operating procedure as dealers look to fill up their showrooms.
For the moment, it's too early to know which trim or engine will prove most popular in the new 200. At present, most of the ordered models are highly optioned. That's normal for a new vehicle launch, as early adopters tend to want all the bells and whistles and dealers want to show off their new stock by putting their best foot forward.

Chrysler 300 could become an electric sedan for 2026

Fri, Jul 8 2022

Australian outlet Drive says it got eyes on "insider information" that revealed Chrysler has an electric sedan in development. As has been practice for the Pentastar since long before Stellantis, this Chrysler four-door would be the platform sibling of an electric Dodge sedan, the Dodge version to arrive sometime in 2024, the Chrysler variant about two years later. Nothing in the documents identified the EV sedan as a replacement for the 300, but Drive lays out a trail of circumstantial evidence that points to this conclusion. The documents say the vehicles will run 800-volt electrical architectures, thought to mean they'll also get the most powerful versions of Stellantis' new electric motors making anywhere from 201 to 443 horsepower. And because of that, Drive expects these products to use the STLA Large platform, the platform an electric 300 would sit on. Chrysler's working up a range of new products as part of the numerous brand resets Stellantis committed to. In January, Chrysler CEO Christine Feuell told Automotive News the coming portfolio "will include a number of brand-new products that don't exist today, but also products that are still playing in segments that we're in already," calling out the fact that Chrysler only plays in the large sedan and minivan segments. Then she said, "Our intention is to redefine products for those segments, and they're certainly going to be a vast departure from what's in market today."  The automaker's first EV is expected to be the Airflow, teased during the Stellantis EV day last summer before being debuted at CES in January. With Dodge already making a muscle car, turning that into a product for Chrysler seems like a no-brainer. Thing is, Drive's information and Feuell's comments could be applied to the Airflow. It's on the STLA Large platform, will pack two motors producing a combined 402 hp, and fit a battery capable of juicing a 400-mile range. As far as we can tell, Chrysler has never called it a crossover yet. Not that the nomenclature would matter anyway, since any model name with brand equity can be turned into any other kind of vehicle (see: Aspen, Blazer, Maverick, et al). The Airflow name on an EV makes a logical tie to the original Airflow produced from 1937 to 1940, that original car so named because of its aerodynamic features. But if the Airflow EV hit the market as the new 300, we couldn't say we hadn't seen that trick before.
