1954 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe

[Jakenks]

I "found" one for sale today while looking for houses. Runs and drives, a four door. Some rust but not horrific. Same owner for about 45 years. Paint is weak. Somebody screwed up the fuel tank.

1. Are these fun to drive? This one has the 235 horse 331 hemi.

2. How hard to find parts to keep it going? I'd want to stop & fix the rust, but not go into a complete resto.

3. Any sites that deal with these?

I have a 53 Windsor.

Mechanical parts are available and they are pretty decent car. Brakes are good if you set them up right or you can change to discs with a little effort. Front suspension is really good for the era. Body parts aren't reproduced.

I haven't found a forum or web site that deals with these cars. They are a little too new for the 40's Plymouth and Dodge guys and to old for the Forward Look groups.
