Fossil Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If I had a choice of these Chryslers as far as years go, 1954 would be the one. For some reason I just really like them. Can't help but wonder why there is no photos of the interior or Engine compartment? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 An almost identical 1953 w/ manual transmission + OD sold for 11K near here. It was a very clean one. Very uncommon to find a Chrysler w/ manual trans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed all by then had either the M6 or PowerFlyte. Would be nice if the seller showed us the interior and engine compartment, suppose he knows his car, but we don't.

I suspect the interior isn't as good or photogenic. The asking price alone tends to tell me that. However, an ad needs to show ALL the car so that a potential buyer can be properly informed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I will say if you thought you might want one this is a Chrysler to go see. Unless the interior is gone or rust is an issue the price is not out of line at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 That's not great patina, it's just an older base/clear paint job with the clear coming off. It wil be labor intensive to refinish and I'm thinking that alone will cost at least $10K-plus for a quality job. I'm thinking if the interior was presentable and the engine compartment was clean the seller would be showing then off as selling points. With 4 of the pics showing incorrect hubcaps and with the issues with the chrome and stainless trim (dents, dings) as well, I don't see how the seller can claim his car is in excellent condition. If my "assumptions" are correct, there chances of finding a buyer might be better if the price was cut in half. I don't see much value in a stick flathead 6 post sedan with a lot of needs. The 1953 Chrysler Windsor 2-door sedan sold previously that Jeff Perkins is speaking of above was a true low mileage one of a kind completely original time capsule that would be nearly impossible to duplicate. If this example were repainted, reupholstered and completely detailed it wouldn't approach the condition of that $11,000 1953 Windsor so I'm just not seeing an $8500 car here. This model might be a tough sell in its current condition. More pictures please. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumBob Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Right, the interior is hideous. Grey would have been much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interior surely is wrong, but maybe it's a nice car otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
