Vehicle Description
Offered for sale is a rare 1955 Chrysler New Yorker Spring Fling Edition. First sold in Los Angeles, CA, it remained in Southern California until coming to Arizona recently.
Being a late in the model year “Spring Special,” this car combines the trim and paint schemes of the St. Regis and the Newporter Deluxe to produce a striking two tone exterior that is rarely seen. 1955 was the first year of the iconic Forward-Look design also seen in the first 300.
This New Yorker Spring Fling Edition is sold with 55,268 miles showing on the odometer. The interior and kick panels appear to be original to the car. The white and red paint show well with a few thin spots on the hood of the car. The chrome is in overall good condition with some pitting on the window trim pieces. Correct white wall tires are on the car.
The engine has never been opened up, and starts every time. It starts and runs great, powering this head turning and attention getter around town. The speed trans is tight and never slips. The brakes were inadequate for the car when it was new, and continues to be one aspect that makes driving the car a task of vigilance for stopping space. Power steering is typical of its times, but required given the size involved.
It is reported that the hemi engine produces 250 hp (190 kW) in this year. The result would become an ongoing trend for increasing engine output throughout the next two decades with Chrysler and its rival competitors. The Powerflite transmission was controlled by a lever on the instrument panel.
The Chrysler New Yorker is sold with a copy of the original title and the pink slip.
Please call with any questions or to set up a time to view the car. |
