The 55er Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) Only a couple of dings, certainly no more than 15-20 actual dents and few damaged & missing trim pieces. I find it hard to believe the seat covers cost $350 in 1950 when I've shown a pic of an actual seat cover catalog from a few years earlier. A new 1950 New Yorker sedan was priced at $2756 and for $1551 you could buy a new 1950 Plymouth sedan for $1551. Seat cover cost seems high, maybe they just didn't shop around for the best price. A good project car or someone? It is an eight cylinder New Yorker but it's gray and it needs a lot of cosmetics. Pot metal repair & replating isn't cheap.

I'd certainly want to see what's under the seat covers before considering this car 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooklyn Beer Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Lets just dive into the battery and battery cable issue. These are positive ground systems. Plus the sizing is all wrong 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I think that a guy could spend a lot of time and money chasing dents and replacing stainless on this Chrysler, only to end up with a plain old sedan with a flathead in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
