Vehicle Description
1953 Chrysler New Yorker Town and Country Station Wagon (Vancouver,
Wa) $38,500 A father and son were the only owners for 64 years. The
son remembers he was 8 years old when his father bought this car in
1954 in North Hollywood California. He purchased it for his mom to
haul us kids around. In 1964 the family moved from California to
Southern Oregon and his father put the car in secured storage where
it was stored for the next 28 years. In 1992 his dad allowed his
son to take possession of the Town and Country. The motor starts
and runs smoothly with no noise, smoke or blow by. The fluid drive
works and shifts nicely. The exhaust is quiet and it brakes
properly. The front suspension is tight, the power steering is
smooth and drives exceptional at 65-70 mph. The alligator interior
is in remarkable condition after more than 6 decades. It has 3 seam
splits that are about 4'' and should be easily fixed because the
material is not brittle. The headliner, door panels and dash are
excellent. The carpets have some wear but are presentable. The wood
floors and wood rear side panels are amazing for being original.
The glass has no lamination and clear. The body rubber throughout
is not cracked and remains soft. This Chrysler has never been in an
accident. The paint is original except for the front nose which was
repainted in 1955 due to a sand storm. call Sid 503-312-0822
