Vehicle Description
With a Golden Lion drivetrain, a tailored interior and 18" of sheet
metal, this Chrysler was delivered to its first owner via
Harger-Haldeman Chrysler in November 1958. More recently, it
benefited from a body-off, rotisserie restoration that followed
sandblasted sheet metal with multiple coats of primer and
wet-looking Formal Black two-stage paint complemented by
triple-plated chrome, professionally refinished stainless and
correct Solex glass. Power is provided by a 413ci V8 Golden Lion
engine that, in addition to being remachined, rebuilt and restored,
is authenticated by a 1851629 casting number. The engine pushes
power through a correct A488 TorqueFlite automatic transmission
that's sequenced to a Sure-Grip posi-traction rear differential and
3.31 gears. Handling is improved by correct Constant-Control power
steering and correct center-plane drum brakes. Inside this coupe is
a black and tan interior sporting Gary Goers swivel seating, a
fold-down armrest and 6-way power adjustments for the driver's
seat. In front of the driver is a color-keyed dash with push-button
transmission controls at the sides of the cockpit, and original
door panels that frame factory power windows. The Chrysler's sale
includes restoration photos, restoration literature and a copy of
the car's original IBM card.
