Vehicle Description
This “very rare” 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible is in very good condition. This car has had approximately 3 owners. In the past years it has had a restoration that includes re-paint, re-chroming, re-done leather interior and a new Hartz black top. (the power top cylinders and switches still need replaced.) The excellent wire wheels are sporting 235 x 75 x 15 ( these are aged and do have flat spots) white wall tires.
There are approximately 750 of these convertibles ever produced. The body tag code is 15 554 1663. It has a clean current Nebraska title. The “glistening straight chrome” is strikingly beautiful against the bright red shiny paint. The recent leather interior is very nice and comfortable. The odometer shows 02162 (this may have been re-set at the time of the restoration being complete.) All glass is in excellent condition.
The Chrysler Fire Power 331 Hemi 4 bbl. motor produces 235 hp, 330 lbs. of torque and runs smooth with no knocks or overheating. It does have some oil and transmission leaks from not being recently driven. The new dual exhaust sounds really good! The original style power steering works well. The power-flight automatic transmission shifts as it should. The factory drum brake system has been rebuilt, however, the factory style power brake booster and master cylinder, mounted on the body frame located underneath the drivers side floor has now been replaced with a "dual master cylinder plus new 7 inch power brake booster and is activated by a thru the floor brake pedal system". New brake lines have been replaced to accommodate the updated dual master cylinder and power brake booster. All original style drum brakes and wheel cylinders were recently replaced, not leaking, and functioning fully. While we were underneath the car, we took the opportunity to install a new gas tank, fuel hoses/lines, and also installed an electric fuel pump. A correct original ignition switch has now been replaced and functions as it should. The 6 volt “Electric Auto-Lite” generator has been rebuilt and replaced. A new 6 volt battery was installed two months ago. This 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible which has a fairly recent new top, but still does need the convertible hydraulic pump, cylinders, and hoses replaced and installed. (Manually you can put the convertible top up and down).
You will probably look a long time before you find another 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible like this!! Call or text Wayne for more information of this great automobile. (402) 830-3736. |
