Finished in classic Cloud White over Mint Green with a Matching Green and White cloth interior this vehicle looks as though it was stored in a barn. The original paint is faded and the vehicle is loaded with aged chrome. This incredible motorcar has been driven only 36,036 miles from new and comes with its original owner service certificate and registration, owner’s manual, radio service manual and more! It runs strong, shifts strong, and drives good. The car has power steering, pushbutton trans and power brakes. The car starts right up and runs well, has newer shocks and dual exhaust, and newer brakes that need to be air bled. The water pump makes noise and drips so it needs to be replaced as well to make the vehicle road worthy once again. The radio was removed to be tested and it is not working. Trunk doesn’t open, Tires and Rims are NOT ORIGINAL, as we needed tires with air to pull it out from the barn. This car still has the original interior and headliner but needs to be cleaned. The floor has some rust thru on the upper left/right sides and the rocker panels are rusted thru. We have a set of NEW rocker panels included. All gauges work as well as all windows. The glasses are good too. This is a solid car otherwise, it has surface rust in many areas, and rust thru below where the spare tire sets, otherwise decent. This car needs total restoration but it is a very good project because it is all original as stated (except tires and wheels). We sell it as is, no warranty, $500 deposit 24 hours after the auction closed; the rest of the money can be paid via Paypal, or cash in person 7 days after purchasing.

HISTORY OF THE CHRYSLER NEW YORKER: The Chrysler New Yorker was a premium automobile built by the Chrysler Corporation from 1939-1996, serving for several years as the brand's flagship model. A model named the "New York Special" first appeared in the 1930s. Until its discontinuation in 1996, the New Yorker had made its mark as the longest running American car nameplate. For 1956, Chrysler only produced a limited number of these Chrysler New Yorker Newports. Today, they are considered one of the most reliable, easy driving cars of the 1950's, and are becoming increasingly popular among collectors.
