1970 Chrysler New Yorker Coupe in Red Deer, Alberta?

[330dTA]

Would anyone on the members happen to know this car? It was spotted in Red Deer, Alberta in last June. It would be nice to see more photos of it.

It seems to have the white bucket seat option in it. I wonder what else. A loaded console car?

Is it for sale?

Not that I know of. It appeared on FB, just that one photo. It would be neat to learn more of it.

Aren't those the headrests for a bench seat? (asking, I'm not an expert)

Since it is a 2 door New Yorker, they could only be bucket seats given that they are white (and assuming not beige), assuming those seats are original and not transplanted from a 4 door model (in which case they would have to be beige).

White seats was the indicator I spotted, too. Consequently: buckets.

Be it as it may, it is a very rare car. It is number 18 in my very unofficial directory of CH23*0C’s.

Red Deer is located in between Edmonton and Calgary. Looks like it potentially was at a car show so it could be from anywhere in Alberta.

Or even from British Columbia or Saskatchewan.

The car in this thread looks a lot like my 1971 New Yorker

Thanks, all!
I had no idea a white headrest could be such a clue. I was picturing these seats from the 300 would be used as the buckets in the NY, and hence would have the rounded headrests I was familiar with. Looking at the pics, it also means a console was NOT available as an option in a NY?

I don't see why a console wouldn't be an available option in the New Yorker since it has a separate arm rest like the 300 seat you are showing and would fit right in place.

Optional buckets for ’70 NYer:
Available in Tan, blue, white and black.

I think my brain confused the word 'standard' to mean these buckets can 'only' be had with a buddy seat and not a console.
