If that was just a plain old Riviera or Toronado, it would look very classy in that color scheme.   It really is a shame that they mucked that poor Riv up like that.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Dec 30, 2008 12:55 pm) Ewww!!! It looks like the product of an unholy union between a 1982 Riviera and a 1940 Packard!

#16286 of 19412 I probably already know the answer to this... by andre1969 Dec 30, 2008 (4:13 pm)
but would there be any upshot to a 1960 Chrysler New Yorker 4-door sedan? When I was over at my mechanic's place around lunchtime, to settle up on his progress with my Catalina, I noticed this NYer sitting out in front. The mechanic wasn't around, and the receptionist and the mechanics that were on duty didn't really know anything about it.   Anyway, it was a medium blue metallic. Paint was kinda shot, worn down to the primer in places, but overall the car actually looked solid. The interior was fabric, and had some shreds here and there.   Now I know nothing of its true condition. For all I know, the engine could be seized, tranny shot, and floorboards, trunk, and critical points on the unibody rusted out.   Still, the thing looked like it could make a neat old beater. I wonder how it would perform, compared to my '57 DeSoto? It's a similar size but probably a few hundred pounds heavier. But I'm sure the 413-4bbl's 350 hp would more than make up for that added weight, compared to my 341-2bbls's 270 hp!

Replying to: andre1969 (Dec 30, 2008 4:13 pm) Good sturdy old car. You can't really beat that engine/trans combo. But it'll suck gas like a shop vac hose in a cup of coffee and it probably won't start when it's hot.
