I have for sale an original 1963 Chrysler Owner's Manual and Service Certificate booklet, printed in Canada for Chrysler Canada - which makes the set fairly rare. It covers the Windsor, Saratoga and New Yorker. The owner's manual is in average to above average condition with some minor scuffing. The Owners Service Certificate Booklet is in about the same condition and has some dealer's stamps on some of the coupons, and some of the coupons have been removed when the car was serviced. The car's VIN# is printed on the cover of the Service Booklet as well. Overall they make a nice set. The Owners Service Certificate booklet is printed in both English and French. The original selling dealer was Southern Motors Ltd., in Trail, BC Canada, and the original owner's name is in the booklet. The car was a 1963 New Yorker four door hardtop which was owned by a friend of mine in 1979. I drove the car myself a couple of times. He sold the car but kept the manuals and recently gave them to me to deal with. These would make an excellent addition to your collection, especially being the rare Canadian version of the manual and service booklet. I would like $25.00 for the pair, complete. Send me a PM if interested.

Years ago I parted out a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker St.Regis. I recently insulated my attic and low and behold there was the windsheild and rear window. With my hand writing to idenify them. I have no use for them and if someone in your club can us them . I'd sell them for a very reasonable $150 for both pieces. Vic 208-240-3579

Hello, My grandfather passed a few years ago and I was given his old house. In cleaning it out I came across a owners manual for a 1919 Maxwell car. This must of belonged to his father. I was wondering if you know of any club members that have this type of car and need a manual or what I should do with this old thing? Any help would be great.

The guy who bought my 1962 Chrysler 300 2 years ago wants to sell it now. Here's the description and pics. Ian.
For Sale.
1962 Chrysler 300 Sport, 2 door hardtop. This car has factory installed 300-H running gear -- 413 high performance engine with dual four barrel carbs, rated at 380 horsepower. Also has heavy duty suspension, 15" wheels, 300-H wheel covers, and 150 MPH speedometer all factory installed. The car has power steering, brakes, windows, seat, antenna, trunk opener, Solex glass, Golden-Touch 7-button search tune radio, and optional tan leather interior with front bucket seats. The engine was completely rebuilt in 2000 by local WPC member Ron Wenzel, has been driven 20,000 miles or so since then. This car was sold new in Southern California, has original bill of sale, and all receipts for the past 28 years and showroom brochures etc. The car is super straight and completely rust free, always garaged, & never driven in bad weather. Paint is code WW1 Oyster white, interior Tan. It has been meticulously maintained and partially restored over the years since 1982 and was owned by WPC member Ian Smale from 1982 - 2008. It is a beautiful, but not flawless, car & is ready to be enjoyed & driven anywhere in comfort. Older lacquer re-paint that shows well, chrome and stainless is in excellent condition. Bumpers, lens housings and other misc. chrome pieces were re-plated back in the 80s and look very good. New parking light lenses, tail light lenses, and recent set of new rear brake shoes and new rear springs complete this beautiful car. The original bronze dash pad is like new, the door panels and seats are very good. Some leather has been replaced. The Red/White/Blue 300 side emblems are excellent for the age, with a reproduction grille emblem. Front disk brake kit installed several years ago. The original clear and gold marbleized plastic steering wheel has no cracks on the rims. For more info call Mark Alexander, 250-665-6042, Victoria, BC email rmalexander@shaw.ca

Thanks for posting the pics, go on enjoying it!

I have so many little things to do on the car, its finding the time.... Say do you have pictures of your Windsor? What body style is it?
-
Well, I just pulled my own bezel off, and sure enough, my switch is held in by two sheet metal screws. The screw on the left side is in from front, the right side from rear. The left side one is a slot head rather than Philips, so I am sure originally it would have been a Phillips from the rear... who knows what manner of horrible things have been done to the switch......but I'm not pulling it out today. The replacement switch I have is from a 61 Newport, so I guess they did an improvement that year with studs and nuts for attachment.
-
Now I have to take a closer look at mine.....as to the mounting screws / studs..
-
Try Big-M Automotive in Williams, CA. He has a lot of 50s cars most of which are Mopar.
-
Also, these switches are electro-magnetic, in case you didn't know. When you pull the lever to the left or right, it holds in that position by the electro-magnet. When you make the turn there is another canceling switch on the lower part of the steering column above the brake pedal- so that when the column turns back to centre as you complete the turn, it cuts off power to the electro-magnet and thus releases the lever to go back to the centre position. On my switch, I've already replaced the column canceling switch but still have issues with the actual main switch. It stays locked over to the right even when there is no power to it and won't cancel - even with the new canceling switch - very strange - and I am very curious to know why. So I do have working signals, but I have to manually cancel a right turn.
-
Well, I haven't had the bezel off for several months, ... but I did replace one of these in my 62 Chrysler years ago, and I have taken 2 pictures of the replacement switch I plan to put in the 60, which shows the 2 mounting studs and nuts.
-
On the 1960-1962 Chrysler, to remove the signal switch first remove the chrome signal knob on the end of the lever ( unless its already broken off) then remove the chrome bezel around the push buttons ( 4 Philips Screws holding it on). Then you will see the turn signal switch is held in under the push buttons by two small studs with hex nuts on the ends facing you. Undo the nuts, put them in a baggie. Then you must reach up under the dash board and get your hand onto the signal switch from behind and pull it backwards and then down and out, under the dash board. The wiring from it is about 6 inches long with a connector on it that has to be unplugged from the other end. These switches regularly come up on Ebay, I have a 60 Chrysler myself that needs the switch replaced, and have a new one ready to go, just have to find the time to do it. If you don't have an Ebay Account, you may be able to get one from John Fowlie, at Big-M Automotive in Williams CA. Big M Automotive He has a wrecking yard full of 50s and early 60s cars with a huge amount of Chrysler Products . I would also recommend you join the Forward Look Discussion Forum, http://www.forwardlook.net/forums which is specifically for 55-61 Chrysler Products.

My 1956 Chrysler Plainsman Station Wagon Idea Car
concept is consigned with Mecum auctions for their Monterey sale on Saturday
August 14th. This should be of interest to WPC members coming in for the events
at Pebble. . Thank you. Ed Jasinski 650-349-7244. ed5000@earthlink.net
This station wagon is also the only wagon concept from any American manufacturer through the 50s and 60’ period that is known to exist.
Introduced at the 1956 Chicago Auto Show, Corporate Styling Director Virgil M. Exner declared his alluring bronze metallic Plainsman Wagon concept to reflect “the colorful and casual way of life that typifies the nation’s westward movement, and is a bold expression of the suburban trend in American living.”
Reddish-brown and white calf-hide upholstery and natural leathers interior. Bright gold colored Texas Longhorn body medallions. Modern padded white fabric top. Power windows and a fully automated tailgate and window. Concealed gas filler inlet, hidden from view within the retracting taillight.
New features such as the rear facing “observation car” third seat, fully automated to rise into position or retract again in tandem with motorized stair steps crafted to slide in and out of the bumper.
Climate controlled interior.
The industry’s first hidden spare tire compartmentalized behind the rear wheel.
Corporate executive directed upgrade to 413 C.I. power.
Some history:
In line with a corporate policy to divest of its Italian-built experimental cars for tax purposes, Chrylser gifted this show car to the President of all the Cuban Banks. But it wasn’t long before Chrysler’s international export manager who resided in Cuba with his family, found it necessary to step in and secure the car from undetermined fate following the sudden death of that bank president. Soon after, the executive and his family escaped with the Plainsman to the States as the situation in Castro’s Cuba became very grim. As the family of the Chrysler corporate executive stationed themselves throughout the world, the Plainsman stayed with them. Even to Australia where it was once converted to right hand drive.
The car remained with the executive’s family for all of many years until it was eventually relinquished to a celebrated concept collection in the mid-west. And for just the last few years, preservation of the car has been the responsibility of another like-minded car lover.

I've been talking to this gal by email for a few weeks now and she has finally decided on a price for this car. She has inherited it from her father who purchased it back in the mid sixties. It is an extremely solid 300-G 2 door hardtop with everything there and even the interior is in decent shape. This car could be a turn key driver but could probably use some brake work and fluid changes prior to driving it. She tells me she really can't see any rust and the trunk floor is solid. Having said that this is no guarantee and I would advise anyone interested in it to look at it or have someone local go take a look at it first before making any decisions. The car is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Below is her ad:
For Sale - 1961 Chrysler 300-G, very good original condition, minimal rust. Owned by my late father since ( the year ) . Everything is there and complete, no modifications. It has a decent original interior and can be driven and enjoyed as is or restored. There aren't many original un-restored 300-Gs left that are as good as this one. Cross Ram induction system still there and intact. May need minor work like brakes, fluids, fuel system etc. to get it in driving condition. $32,000.00 USD. For more information and photos.......Natasha Saad , 780-983-1796, 3989 McMullen Green , Edmonton, AB, T6W 1S7, email- tamich13@gmail.com

For Sale: 1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix 2-door hardtop. Equipped with 318 Poly V8, 3-speed pushbutton Torqueflite transmission, power brakes, power steering, original AM radio, remote outside mirror, Satellite dashboard clock, split bench seat interior, dual exhaust. Have owned and maintained since 2001 after purchasing from IL, car was originally from Arizona and is now located in NH. Has only been used in summer months since being brought here in 2001. Very dry car underneath with excellent floorboards and no rust in trunk. Has all of its original stainless trim and exterior chrome in very good condition. Taillight and headlight bezel chrome is excellent, no pitting on exterior Dodge and Phoenix emblems. Originally a Fawn color inside and out, the car was at some point repainted a two-tone tan/beige color with a chocolate brown metallic roof. Original interior was also redone in the past to match outside colors with a brown and white pleated vinyl, including the door panels. Paint is shiny and interior is in great condition including carpet, armrests, and headliner. All glass is clear with no chips or scratches. Used locally for cruise nights and shows, always stands out in a crowd. Needs some minor attention to be perfect: current power steering box has a pinion seal leak and some small blisters are forming on the lower rocker panels in front of the rear wheels. Overall the car is in very good condition for its age and is a solid and presentable driver with no rust issues in the usual problem areas on these cars. Always starts right up and everything works (all lights, directionals, wipers, radio, clock, remote mirror). Rear package shelf has 6x9 speakers for use with under-dash removable FM Stereo cassette, can be easily removed. Would be perfect for a 1960 Dodge enthusiast looking for a nice example of this attractive and hard-to-find body style. Price is $12,500. If you have any questions or would like more specific photos and information, email Dave Walker at dwalker6697@comcast.net97@comcast.net

As above, send the gauges to JC Auto. He rebuilds them. The dash gauges and speedo are by electroluminescent lighting, basically phosphorous coated ceramics with a current running through it, on each gauge to light them up. There are no bulbs. Each gauge also has a wire running to the needle which lights up. Over time those wires which are no thicker than a hair, corrode, weaken and break. JC Auto ( Jeff Carter ) can rebuild them. I've had 2 of these cars with the same dash, formerly a 1962 Chrysler 300 and currently a 1962 Chrysler Saratoga. Jeff has rebuilt a couple of gauges for me. The gauges are fairly easy to remove once you remove the access panel under the steering column held on by 6 philips screws. Each gauge has 2 screws holding it into the dome base. Unplug the wire module, unscrew the mounting screws and gently lower the gauge out. MAKE SURE you disconnect your battery ahead of time.
