She seems to be extremely well preserved. All original? Hope you saved the original wheels.

Welcome! One sharp looking Chrysler! That red interior really makes it distinctive! Or perhaps I remember that combination from the earlier '60s and how sharp it looked back then.
Wheels? The W23 Road Wheels would look nice, even with the satin silver section painted black, but what's on there now tend to compliment the black/red color scheme. Personal pref. Whatever!

Wow.. Beautiful car. I love the black and red combination, although like mentioned above, I’m a road wheel fan on these cars, but your choice of wheel is tasteful and complementary.

Beautiful indeed, congratulations on a lovely car.
I agree....road wheels would look very nice on this car.
Whatever the preference might be for wheels, at least the ones on the car don't try to make it a Hot Wheels character and raise the ride height too much.
To get that color combination, if it came that way, took a special order to do it, as vinyl roof color typically matched the interior color. A black on black with a red interior took some additional specific effort to make happen.
Have you extracted a build sheet?
Thanks,

Very nice ride. Black with a red interior is a very classic combination that always looks good. It makes the chrome really pop. I love it.
road wheels would make it truly special.

Love this...
This... not so much.
But... hey, they do just bolt on. Looks to be a very nice car and it's hard to go wrong with a clean black Formal.
So now for the dirty business... Do the wipers work? Is the steering wheel in good shape? Are the lower quarters original? Does the original radio and antenna still work? Know now if you say yes to all of these you will be included on the FCBO "you suck" list.
I thought it a little strange about a nicely-optioned car and no "factory stereo", but then research revealed the factory CB radio was only with the AM radio as its companion. At least it has a rear speaker to help fill that large interior with sound!

My 78 NYB had a factory AM/FM/CB radio that didn't work....
