suchan Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Beautiful car. Perfect colors for the desert. Strange comment about the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I don't know how correct the interior is, but assuming there's a little wiggle room in the price I could live with it. I like to colors, but would definitely look closely at the "flaking paint". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 "Pioneertown" ...another interesting place name! According to Wikipedia: Pioneertown is an unincorporated community of the Morongo Basin region of the High Desert in San Bernardino County, California, United States. It is an 1880s-themed town developed as a shooting location for actors working on Western films and TV series with businesses and residences. Must be a unique place to actually live, sort of like a Western Williamsburg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 This car looks like a lot better start to a project than most. I think the interior is either correct or very close. The drivers door panel needs some attention and it needs a new steering wheel. The front horizontal grille bar needs rechromed. But with a wide array of brilliant colors offered on 1955 Chryslers, those pastel desert shades don't work for me. Says it won't take much to get on the road but the gas tank is not installed. The actual mileage of the car is not stated. In many cases like this when the car has been parked for awhile there will be a number of additional things to sort out. So why weren't they driving it more often? This might be a good start to a project but it's still a project. I'm thinking it might be a good car for someone to clean it up and drive it as is. As for restoring it, paying for new paint & chrome is gonna get pricey. You might be able to find a pretty nice 1955 Chrysler ready to go in the $20K-$25K price range but now dollar-wise you're getting up into Imperial coupe territory. It still might be a good project to the right person and the price seems reasonable enough. GLWTS. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good eatin too if you are into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 If in the market for one, a closer look at this one might be a good idea. Would be a fun daily driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 This is Chrysler's last year for 6-Volt electrics, not necessarily an issue, at least in my opinion. I like it, but don't need it. I really prefer the 1966 version per somewhat smoother styling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only drawback is that it's the last year of the six volt Chryslers. Although the two speed tranny that spaghetti wiring along with the brake system conversion would turn me away.

(not that I have anything against the 1966) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
