Found this cat in my home town, and wanted a bit of background before I went to talk to the owner.

Monotone '55 New Yorker sedan.  Should be a 331 Hemi with powerflite.  Looks MINT!

I think Bart was talking more about the owner than the car, Wayne.

Bart? You thinking about snagging this smoky blue baby?

Looks good, unusual single color car, look inside the 1/4's, the rear 1/4 wheel openings, the rear frame extensions, all high rust areas.

Well for starters I'd talk him into joining our little disfunctional family here on FL, and Im sure its "for sale" status will come up in the conversation.

I went back and talked with the owner of "BEULAH" ... a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker DeLuxe. The owner ( 3rd generation owner I may add ) is unlikely to sell the car any time soon.

A very solid and well optioned car. But rather than steal his thunder, I've invited Mark ( Rinehart ) to join ForwardLook.net and I expect that he'll be filling in the blanks for us on this car and its history.

I will supply a link to this thread in the email I send him and we should get a response soon.

I did do a quick video interview with Mark, but it was accidentily deleted, so I may go back and do it again, we'll see....

Another new FL member from Wisconsin, join me in welcoming Mark.

Welcome to the network from another Mark, Mark.

Love to hear about cars that've been in the family since they rolled off the showroom floor.

His Grandfather actually was the second owner, but the car has been in Marks family ever since.

Well, either way, this beauty's got a history & that's half of what makes 'em that much more interesting - especially with such a well preserved car as this one obviously is.

What a car of dignified solid elegance! - they have a certain presence that the '57 and up FLs lack, I guess it's that "hewn from granite" blocky look they had in '55 and 56, enhanced in this case by the one color paint job... in any event a lovely car and a credit to the owners for its good care.
