1948 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible

Here is a very rare restoration project, or a prime candidate as a high end street rod. Very few cars survive the rust that we get here in the Midwest, so this is an exception the rule here. This car was part of a 40 year old collection of Town & Country autos and is one the best unrestored body I have seen. The car was previously bought as a restoration project, as the owner had pasted away. I have owned this car for a number of years now and I have too many projects, too little storage, and not enough time!!! As the pictures show there is only surface rust. The undercarriage is surface rust only.

I have been collecting parts for this car, and have hung all the sheet metal to show it as a complete vehicle.  It does have a new set of Denman wide whitewall tires on it. They are several years old and are like new. It is minus the original engine / transmission (see paragraph below), front bumper, grill and chrome. The glass is in decent shape; with the exception of the vent windows…starting to yellow at the edges and the back window does have a crack in it.

The convertible top is in good shape, but needs TLC at the rear windows.

I have original front seat base and there is also an extra set of seats for a coupe that go with the car all of which need restored.

I do have a complete 8 cylinder engine / transmission and a set of Kelsey/ Hayes wire rims for an additional fee if desired. Contact me for pricing if interested.

**NOTE ...The last picture of a completed car is what it would look like restored.  It is not the car in this listing, the picture was taken at the ACD Museum.
