    Fixing a noisy, tinny sounding trunk lid on my Formal

    I have a 77 New Yorker and when I slam the trunk lid it makes a loud tinny sound. I don't know how to describe it any better, but if you've heard it you know what I'm talking about. It really sounds bad, not the kind of sound a luxurious car should make :rolleyes: I looked at a 73 Imperial a...

    Re-painting interior plastic chrome trim

    I wanted to rehabilitate the chrome on the plastic of some of my interior pieces. I used this stuff: Amazon.com Not quite as good of a finish as plastic that has vapor deposited metal, but pretty darn good. Way better than I thought would be possible with paint. Compare the outer ring of...

    I don't know if this is a common occurrence in these cars or if it's just that mine was exposed to excessive moisture at some point. Mine are curled up at the tips pretty badly. I'm wondering if it's actually because the hard rubber-like material around the edge has shrunk. Do you think if I...

    Front fender liners/splash guards/?

    I've seen them referred to in a variety of terms so hopefully you know what I'm referring to. Do these crossover with other years and brands (Dodge/Plymouth C-bodies)? Or are they unique to 67/68 Chryslers.

    1968 New Yorker resto thread

    I figured I'd start a thread to document my progress of restoring the family New Yorker. I say "family" because this car has been in our family since my Dad bought it in 71. My brother drove it through High School and a bit of college, then I inherited it and drove it through high school and...

    Where can I find these things for my 68 300 convertable?

    I need to get the cover that snaps over the convertable top when it's down. I've looked around but can't seem to find it. I'm not even sure what it's called. Also, I want to buy some Plasticote paint to freshen up some of the interior plastic trim but I'm not sure what color to buy. I'm...
