Drove the recently purchased New Yorker home today……97 mile trip……85 deg.F with no cooling issues. 40 lbs. oil pressure, does not drop hardly at all when idling. One problem I have is the idle is high, cannot lower it without the car dying. I could not find any vacuum leak. Tomorrow I will spend the day cleaning inside, out and underhood as I do not like working on dirty cars.

Might have mouse fir headliner also……I think that car could be made into a neat mild custom. I love that side trim……

Long ago (thinking 1973)I bought a 1937 Chrysler Airstream that was all painted up for a local high school homecoming. Usable interior, ran good but every inch including windows was all painted. I got it for $99, cleaned the windows with a razor, and drove it home. One week later I had all the paint off and traded it off for a 454 from a wrecked Monte Carlo.

Absolutely!

Before purchasing my 1948 New Yorker I took a serious look at this 1952 Imperial in Iowa. It is a two owner 31K mile original car. Asking $16,900. Has been used little in the past 40 years so recommissioning is necessary.

I’m with you, I think it is a nice one. There is yet another 1956 President for sale near me. It is a 120 WB President but in worse shape than this President. Of the three I would certainly choose to see the 116 WB one.

Facebook Marketplace listing in Minneapolis MN. Must access Facebook to contact seller. I have no interest or involvement in this sale. 1937 Chrysler Royal sedan Suicide back doors 251 straight 6 Manual 3 Spd with overdrive It runs and drives, it was used in local (mpls) car shows at a paint car for kids washable paint that washes off. Its painted currently with silver rustolium(bought it that way). I am not asking anywhere near what classic dealers are wanting because this is unrestored im in the ball park of $3,000.00 obo currently at dealerships the starting price is 12,000.00 and goes up from there. If you or someone you know is interested shoot me a message.

I was going to post this car after I saw fossil’s posting Of the Pepto-Bismol car. I have a friend who was going to go up to Duluth and look at the car. When I explained the difference between the vice president and the president I think he backed down on going. Too bad, it does look like a really nice car for a reasonable dough.

George, google his name, he is a well known hunter of barnfind and hidden cars. Doesn’t mean he is by any means an expert.

The best helper a car loving man can have!!

Learned about that 40 years ago when I had a ‘46 Dodge! Good eye spotting the profile pic change 👀

Working on bringing my recently purchased car home.

Link?😀

Well, mission accomplished…….1948 Chrysler New Yorker Highlander 4dr will be coming into my possession this Friday. 65K mile two owner original, needs some recommissioning and TLC. Can’t wait to get started!

I was wondering if 1948 New Yorkers came from the factory with 820x15 tires? I thought the Royal/Windsor used 710x15.
