This New Yorker Deluxe convertible was acquired for its current
owner's collection because it was the only one that he had ever
seen, and, in fact, it is believed to be one of fewer than 10
surviving. It had been cosmetically restored by the previous
owners, but, unhappy with the finishes, the owner had his shop
improve it significantly, including wet-sanding the Black and Tango
Red paint to produce a better shine, installing a new top boot, new
front seat upholstery, a new dashboard cover, and further extensive
adjustments and detailing. The result is beautiful throughout, and
retains its original engine and 6-volt electrical system, as well
as a wonderful set of period-correct Kelsey-Hayes chrome wire
wheels. An interesting feature is the PowerFlite transmission, with
its aircraft-style shifter mounted in the dashboard!To view this
