I purchased this vehicle last year. It is a 2nd series 1949 New Yorker club coupe. This is an extremely rare vehicle to find available. It is 100% all original. Original paint, original interior and original Spitfire 323 Straight 8. Here is the back story: This was owned by a family in southwest Wisconsin for years. The owner took it into a local restoration shop for maintenance including a valve job and brakes. Then the fellow passed away and the car sat inside storage for 10 + years. I then became aware of it and purchased it and brought it to central Iowa.
The body on this car wears it's original paint and is arrow straight. Most glass is good, but I believe the front passenger glass (door) has cracks and would need replaced.
THERE IS ONE TRIM PIECE MISSING which has not been located and that is the stainless spear on the drivers door. That's it.
The pot metal surely needs rechromed but you can do it a bit at a time. Some chorme is driver quality - it just all depends on what you are after. An easy car to restore or an all original gem.
INTERIOR: The interior - in my opinion - is amazing but you may think otherwise. Original carpet, front seat is original and nice, back seat top has issue on the top near the package tray and needs reupholstery but bottom is OK. There is staining in the lighter color fabrics but they can be cleaned up. The dash pad (1st year for dash pad) needs recovered in leather or vinyl BUT the good part is the foam has integrity and can be used. Dash instrument cluster is OK, some grazing on steering wheel horn button but OK.
ENGINE: With some coaxing, this car should run. It ran 10+ years ago after the valve job, per the shop owner . Now, it would be a good idea to drop the gas tank and clean it out or have it resealed and go through the lines. Needs a battery. My plan is to take this to a professional restoration shop if no one else wants it.
NO TITLE
Why am I selling it? In 2012 I purchased 7 vehicles for whatever reason. This is one I want to keep, but I am putting ALL up for sale and seeing what shakes out. This is BY FAR the best non running car I have and it's a straight forward process to get a bonded title in Iowa or elsewhere.
What else? Take a look at all the high resolution photos and you too will be amazed at the original condition of this super rare car. Maybe 3-4 are offered in any one year and few have survived in this condition. This is not a 6 cyl Windsor, this is the top of the line long wheelbase New Yorker. Don't miss this opportunity.
I am always available for questions. Also on Craigslist for sale. Bryan 515-520-2611

Chrysler IPO to be filed as early as this week
Mon, 16 Sep 2013An initial public offering for the Chrysler Group could happen this week, following Sergio Marchionne's comments to Financial Times in London, according to a report from The Detroit News. Fiat, which owns 58.5 percent of Chrysler, has been in a battle with the UAW retiree healthcare trust over its minority stake in the company. While the automotive union recognizes its role as a temporary shareholder, the two couldn't come to an agreement on how the shares should be priced.
As Marchionne explained to FT, a Chrysler IPO allows the market, rather than the two competing sides, to determine the value of the shares. The public offering is a risky move, which could potentially hang one side out to dry - if the shares go high, it's bad news for Fiat, but if they go low, the UAW stands to lose. Regardless of where the stock prices go in an IPO, though, it's a move that's being supported by analysts, who are quick to cite Chrysler's near-constant growth and a product lineup that is getting healthier with each new introduction.
Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles gets officially official this Sunday
Thu, 09 Oct 2014Want a chunk of the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles? Shares of the newly joined (technically) Dutch automaker will begin trading on Monday on the New York Stock Exchange. The company itself will become a single entity on Sunday.
According to The Detroit Free Press, the new FCA will be the world's seventh largest company after Fiat shareholders' chance to oppose the merger expired on October 4. To prevent the merger, shareholders would have needed to exchange at least 500 million euros in shares for cash.
On Monday, current shareholders of both Fiat and Chrysler stock will see their shares converted into an equal number of FCA shares, the Freep reports.
