Description:
This 1953 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible is a standout classic with rarity, distinction, and the iconic Hemi power that makes it instantly attractive. With fewer than 1,000 of these convertibles ever made, this vehicle is a rare gem in the world of classic cars, particularly when considering its near 70-year age.
Key Features:
- Rarity: One of less than 1,000 produced, making it a unique find, especially in today’s market.
- Appearance: The exterior showcases a premium drop-top look with a well-maintained body and gloss paint. The rear end has a classic shape reminiscent of Cadillac’s DeVille, and the vehicle is finished with real wire wheels and wide whitewalls for an authentic 1950s cruiser look.
- Convertible Top: The black roof contrasts beautifully with the pearl gray paint, and the power-operated top allows for an open-air driving experience.
- Interior: The interior continues the premium theme with steely gray and distinctive red cloth inserts on the seats, doors, and dash. Vintage touches include the original AM radio, an intricately designed steering wheel, and a courtesy light that activates upon opening the door. The car also features provisions for power windows, though these may need some servicing.
- Engine: Under the hood is the original 331 cubic-inch FirePower V8, Chrysler’s legendary Hemi engine. This engine marks the beginning of a storied lineage at Chrysler and remains a significant feature of the vehicle. The engine compartment maintains classic presentation with period-correct details, including the generator and FirePower valve covers.
Condition:
- Exterior: The body and trim are in good condition, though there are minor imperfections and a few areas that may need attention. The chrome bumpers are well-fitted, and the overall presentation is impressive.
- Interior: The upholstery is well-preserved, but the power windows and other components might need some updates to ensure they function perfectly.
- Engine: The FirePower V8 is in good condition, but may require some additional servicing to reach its full potential. The vehicle is equipped for cruising with a supple ride and power steering.
