Introduction of New Yorker St. Regis 78'

[Finn Yorker]

Summer is close, ... she is waking up



Many things have been done since the last update. Let's put a couple of photos, more details later on.

The last picture looks familiar. Rust beginning in the holes around the roof trim. But it looks like the back seat is still in the car. We removed mine to get to the side panels for removal. Did you attach a visegrip to the window crank to get to the nuts on the roof trim.

That dual exhaust looks very nice!

I like your car with the skirts but do what makes yourself happy. My car is also a sunroof car.

Woohooo! Anotherwith cloth seats like mine. You know, I really love the look and feel of the leather seats on our New Yorker's but there is something ro be said for the plush look and feel of the cloth velour interior. Love that red...beautiful!

Back to business!
Couple months has been so busy, that I have not been able to give you an update.

First thing that we decided to solve is the rust around roof trim.

It may look bad, but actually it was not a big problem!

Old scratch on a passenger door

You really must replace those RWL tires with whitewalls. It’s a New Yorker, for goodness sake!

Nice car, in all other respects.

 

[Finn Yorker]

We checked If there was any problem inside. There was not a big problem.

But there was interesting thing...we checked out, how the rear side windows work.



However we had New seals, so we replaced them.

You're right, I think whitewalls belongs to this car. We just tried RWL tires.

The red top makes a world of difference in standing out from the other New Yorkers.
