Car of the Week: 1950 Chrysler New Yorker four-door sedan

Car of the Week: 1950 Chrysler New Yorker four-door sedan

This low-mileage 1950 Chrysler New Yorker is a mechanically sound, better-than-new stunner.

In the fall of 2002, Robert Huelsman discovered an original, low-mileage 1950 Chrysler New Yorker four-door sedan in the car corral of Fall Carlisle. The seller had recently purchased the car from the Cumberland, Md., estate of the original owner. The New Yorker had clearly been well cared for over the years, but the building in which the car was stored for decades had an old-style heating system that operated on fuel oil. Over the years, the heater caused the New Yorker's door seals and other rubber components to dry out and deteriorate beyond repair. Although it had been appreciated, there were other signs that time had taken its toll on the New Yorker, making it the perfect example for a body-off-frame restoration in order to make it like new again.
