#16286 of 19347 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: berri (Dec 30, 2008 5:48 pm) I know the 1960 Chryslers had a dash display that was called the "AstraDome". I think it was the same from 1960-62. Here's a pic of one from a 300F...   It is a neat looking piece, but I've never seen one that was lit up. Replies to this message: berri (Dec 31, 2008 9:29 am)
