We're gonna try starting the 57 Chrysler New Yorker this weekend. The current battery is dead and not the correct battery for that car.
What was the correct original battery for that car? I figgured that since I have to get one I may as well get the CORRECT one. Thanks.

Location: Yorba Linda, Ca		It all depends on "How Correct" you wanna be. There is a Mopar battery on Ebay even with the green caps.
Price????? $500 + Shipping.
That's a lil too Pure for my blood, and besides it would clash with my Red engine

What ever battery you buy, you should have it hooked to a charger whilst ya doing all that cranking
easier on a new battery.

Location: Oley, PA		I believe it's a group 34 battery, but almost any top terminal battery will fit. Lots of room there.
