Our Recent Find


Recommended Posts

We recently came across this Chrysler New Yorker deluxe with a fire power motor and yes it belongs to us now. Yes we have projects going on like the special deluxe but we put it on hold since it is far from being done and put it in storage. We focused on our truck which we are having our 235 motor machined  right now.  No its not a Dodge as you can tell by the numbers I just mentioned. Sorry its not a Dodge but its a good truck  its just something that we know we can make it look nice and get it up and running so we can sale to buy a lot more Dodge's. Like our new recent find.... The New Yorker deluxe. We were told it is a 1944 but we believe its a 1954. We just went along with what the guy had said because he had no idea what he had under the hood. He said it runs but that  is yet to be seen. We will let you know when we get around to it. It might be a while. We are just happy it is complete trim, hub cabs, interior, and everything. Only thing missing keys and visor.......  Just wanted to touch base with everyone.

 we know that no cars were made in 44. We were thinking its a 53 or 54 just by the grill.  And  title no we got it mainly for the motor. Besides it didn't cost us nothing we traded a import that was given to us for it. A import that was broke down.

It's a 1953 Chrysler New Yorker.  

 

The series name, "New Yorker", is on the front fender.  The 1954 models had "New Yorker" and "New Yorker DeLuxe" on the rear quarter panels just ahead of the taillamp.   Also a small spear on the front fenders a few inches above the rocker trim. 

 

If you look at the front end, the parking/turn signal lights are just below the headlamps in 1954 and lower on the 1953 models, in line with the middle bar of the grille. 


Looks like pretty nice car.

Good info here. If I remember right, didn't the '53 New Yorker have a clutch pedal and a semi-automatic transmission where the "54 would be a Powerflight  full  automatic with no clutch pedal?

Yes, Powerflte was introduced late in the 1953 model year on Custom and Crown Imperials while New Yorkers and Windsors did not get Powerflite until 1954. 

 

The semi-automatic transmission, with its clutch pedal, was actually available into the 1954 model year.
