This four-door Chrysler may not look like much in the photos, but being equipped with the Salon trim package meant that this was the top-of-the-line New Yorker available from 1963-1964. The story behind it is a sad one though. The last owner passed away and left it to his wife, who has had a stroke and now needs money to pay the mounting medical bills. Her grandson has stepped in to assist with the sale and has listed the car here on craigslist. It is located in Gaston, Oregon and they are asking $2,500.

Here is a shot of that uprated interior. It is deteriorated now, but when new, this was a nice place to be. The passenger side seat reclined for weary passengers during those long road trips. It wasn’t the biggest Chrysler available, but with 340 horses under the hood and a push button automatic transmission, we bet it was a great highway cruiser. Notice the push buttons there on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. The climate control buttons mirrored the layout on the other side.

Unfortunately, we don’t have much hope for this old New Yorker. The seller isn’t sure about the year, or the title… We can’t make out the fins on the back, so we are going to guess that this is actually a ’63. As far as the title, it shouldn’t be too hard to get if the family is willing to work with you. These cars are not highly desirable and this one has been sitting for around 30 years, so it will have to be a labor of love. Sourcing some of the parts will pose a challenge and any rust would be a deal breaker. Still, we have some hope that after a good cleaning this big luxury car will regain some of its former luxury luster.
