    What was the reasoning/decision behind Chrysler's inverted C pillars?

    My post posted at 4:13. Coincidence? Since this photo was taken (by a buddy of a friend of mine who has a nice 66 300), I have adjusted the stance to bring the front end up a bit, like about 3/4". The young guy who rebuilt the front end is a diehard C-body guy, and a great mechanic, but...

    What was the reasoning/decision behind Chrysler's inverted C pillars?

    It seems to me that there are basically only 3 ways to do it: parallel lines; wider at the top/narrower at the bottom; and narrower at the top/ wider at the bottom. What else is there? Yes, the fasttop is a slight variation on the theme of wider at the bottom, and it even has a nod to the...

    NewYorker 1965 in Europe

    Yeah, I know they're correct. I just was surprised nobody mentioned them.

    NewYorker 1965 in Europe

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the "white" taillights.

    Spring is here! (67NY'er)

    Thank you Imperialist67. Yes, I believe that the designers of these cars (Bill Mitchell, Ned Nichols, Elwood Engel, Virgil Exner et. al.) were at the top of their game when these cars were produced. They were the cream of the crop in their field, and that's why they were in charge of...

    Fan shroud 65 NYer

    Oops sorry, the radiator is 22", but it's an aftermarket aluminum unit that Engineered Cooling Products claims is compatible with Mopar shrouds.

    Fan shroud 65 NYer

    Howdy fellas (and fell-ettes), I need a fan shroud for my 65 NYer. Anybody got one? anybody know where I can get one? Cheers from Tampa where we are in the middle of car show season, the weather is glorious. Not to brag.

    Seat upholstery

    Gearhead98, SMS Auto Fabrics will have the OEM stuff, but you may have to take out a second mortgage. Try deadstockautotrim.com they have a lot of original fabrics and vinyl, and reasonable prices. You could also find a color-correct vinyl, and do the seats in vinyl, no cloth. You could find...

    Got us a 1967 New Yorker

    This car is very similar to my 67 Newport Custom. I'd be VERY curious as to what you paid for this car. The interior is really nice!

    That vent door on my 67 Newport Custom slams shut with a mighty crash!

    No title bill of sale

    There needs to be a national standard for this problem. Some states don't need titles for cars over 25 years old, some states do. Beware if you live in Missouri, those folks won't cut you a break. It's a common thing in the old car hobby to have "open" titles. Don't do it; don't accept a...

    1968 New Yorker Valuation and opinions needed

    Thanks JW, I had the front seat re-upholstered, and the 727 had to be rebuilt. I farmed those two tasks out. I rebuilt the brake system completely. Also replaced all hoses, wires, pumps, radiator, master cylinder, carb rebuild, tune up, and tires. But that's stuff I did myself and enjoyed...
