Location: So. Cal | It has the same odd original color scheme as was on my Black/White '57 New Yorker. But I don't think it's the same one. There was also a Black/White New Yorker in Deluth MN recently, but those are the closest I have seen to this unless someone has already repainted it a different color.

IF you can see (get a photo of) the cowl (or rad support) data tag, then the paint code should tell the story.
Regarding 1957 Chrysler paint colours, one source says "A: Jet Black (300 Only)" and "X: Cloud White" so a black and white car's paint code would be something like XAX (or ???).
REFERENCE: http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990262549620.cgi?itemid=...
Potential data tag locations:
Location on the rad support:
A UHU paint code (U Deep Ruby and H Mist Gray)
General 57 Chrysler paint codes (singles)

Location: So. Cal | Dave, the sweep on his car isn't painted white so it would have had the code XAA, just like my New Yorker. |

Hence my "something like XAX (or ???)", emphasis on the "???" (I was just guessing a bit with the XAX)
Thanks. 
It would still be good to confirm the Paint code with the data tag.

Location: DFW, TX | Neat car! At that time, if it wasn't a "perfect" New Yorker, it was probably used as a parts car for a 300C. I'd like to be wrong, but that's just reality! |

Location: So. Cal | It looks like the car in Minnesota is now for sale. But he wants a whopping $18K for it, and it doesn't have a windshield either.
