Vehicle Description
Beauty, rarity, and Hemi power make this 1953 Chrysler New Yorker
Newport instantly attractive. And the closer you get, the more you
see that this restored hardtop has the thoughtfulness and sharpness
you want in an upper-class vintage car.
We have a photo file documenting a comprehensive restoration on
this New Yorker, but it's first impression already tells you
everything about its quality. There is a deep shine to this one
that radiates with class. It instantly lets people know that there
has been a big investment in keeping this classic Chrysler looking
impressive. And we can understand exactly why there would be this
much respect. There were less than 6,000 New Yorker Newports built
in 1953, and so nearly seven decades later, they are a true rare
treat. This has a terrific look of premium coupe with exceptional
sheetmetal, and the rear end looks as shapely as Cadillac's
DeVille. The Cinnamon Metallic paint has a modern clearcoat luster
for added brilliance, and the Caravan Beige gives you a classic
two-tone that draws added attention to the pillarless hardtop roof.
And of course, we love the chrome on the big mirror-like bumpers,
complete Chrysler trim, and the grille that wraps around the front
end and seamlessly creates a bright streak running into the door
line. It's a detail-oriented classic where enthusiasts are going to
spend real time marveling just at the real wire wheels with
whitewalls.
The cinnamon and beige two-tone continues on the inside. It has the
kind of presentation where it's almost like money was no object in
making sure it looks like a time capsule and feels as fresh as day
one. The two-tone on the seats, door panels, and dash coordinate
with the headliner and even the steering wheel. Even the trunk is
nicely finished with a full-sized wire wheel spare. So with such a
sharp presentation and a well-coordinated color combo inside and
out, you're going to love rolling down all the windows on this
hardtop and showcasing the full package. More than just a looker,
this was made for cruising with Chrysler's stylish instrument panel
looking clean, and the defroster is working for those pre-dawn
mornings when you want to be first at the car show.
What will excite collectors the most is the presentation under the
hood. The 331 cubic-inch FirePower V8 is Chrysler's original Hemi
engine. It launched a long and powerful history at Chrysler, and
that gets it instant respect. So to have a museum-quality
presentation in this engine bay make it the kind of car where
everyone takes extra time. And you'll overhear conversations of
people point out everything from the decal on the air cleaner to
how Chrysler overbuilt their motors with handy features like dual
belts. More than just an award-worthy look, this is will impress
with how immediate and strong the mighty V8 fires up. In fact, we
have a detailed schematic from Daytona Auto Designs that suggest
just how thorough the restoration was to the engine bay. And the
ultra-clean undercarriage photos prove that they really invested in
every inch of this coupe. The supple ride, power brakes, and
smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission are all part of
a package that proves this still want to hit the boulevard every
Saturday night.
This classic Chrysler loves to impress with every inch. So if
you're looking for a stunning example that also will likely be the
only one at the car show, call today!
