Nice and shiny wagon! All Chrysler NewYorkers upto '65 had the 413 engine standard.
I also agree the wheels are tasteless and take down the appearance of the car, but I'm also aware a set of aluminium wheels drive so much better then a set of steel wheels. Can't care for the modern seats but I do dig the center console a lot. I've got a similar console out of a '64 Chrysler, put I think they all kinda looked alike in those models and years.
gorgeous car,ive always loved wagons even more than ragtops.as far as buckets?some had optional front buckets,why not rear?the only thing i dont like its the wheels.i think they are 80's imperial ''snowflakes'' they were hideous on the imperials,and even worse on anything else
@PontiacT89 good to see a tolerant polite open-minded comment, thanks! So many guys come off like Ayatollahs, purists. I mean really, it takes all kinds, relax people!
@jesusgoddamchrist Yeah. Back bucket seats in a station wagon? That's just wrong. If you can't find the original then at least find something similar.
We own a 1961 Chrysler New Yorker in Essex, England. I just can't understand why anyone would put a modern interior in such a beautiful original and very rare classic car like this one. I am never usually one to criticize people's choice, but it seems like sacrilege to me.
I like MCG's coverage of cars like this. Why not update an old MoPar and make it an every day driver??? Ain't no MoPar Ayatollahs telling ME what to do! Yeah I prefer stock but...be free. And be tolerant.

the wheels are hideous. The wagon would look better with some correct for the year hubcaps on top of steel wheels.

This car confuses me. It has a 1961-1962 front end with a 1960 rear end. Did I miss something?

interior is kinda cool, must be fun driving it. The design on these cars are timeless, new cars arent even close to the soul that is in the old cars.
