Took some pics of my Yorker to day at front of my carage (where I have my 300 G project)
This is matching number car. I mean it was assembled July 13. in 1961. I bought it exactly 40 years later July 13. 2001. I was also born 13.th in 1961 but not in July.,
This baby got almost all accesories available but PW, wich I now have waiting.
She was first delivered to Idaho but got black California plates when arrived to Finland after mid 80´s.
Previous owner started restoration but was not able to finish it after 9 years of struggle.
I got it body rolling and most of the parts in puckets and boxes, lots of parts missing etc.
Took about 2 years to finish it.
Now 10 years later it has over 14.000 miles and little wear and tear. It used to win awards peoples choises when i took it to the shows but now I hav'nt done shows for a looong time.

Beautiful, Jari (the CAR, I mean!).

Yeah, car show awards are passe, now....we just take care of our rides, and enjoy their operation; let their
next owner restore it; they're not going down in value, anyway, and life is SHORT!

Nope. Thats a portable, moveable, carry out or in rear speaker. As you know Chrysler did not design place for rear speaker on that era unlike some other auto manufacturers.
I fabricated it from my wifes red suitcase what she used when she was a child.
The other thing is my bag
and a sauna, yes it is in the picture, red hut on the background

It has toilet seat trunk lid option, wich I do not like much.
I also made removable trailer hitch for my SMV-wagon that I used have few years ago.

Ingeniuos Jari - I like it! I also agree about the deck lid. You could buy the standard deck lid for a cleaner look and hang the toiletlid on your garage wall.

Have seen it on the Power Big Meet and your NY is in mint condition.
It was a fun speakers (as red upholstery) you have in the back seat
Hope that you get to pick Nick meet on Sunday?

Simply gorgeous New Yorker, Adventurer 60!

May I also vote for leaving the "toilet seat" in place?

The "rear speaker suit case" is a brilliant idea!

Ditch the toilet seat. I hear Ian is going to build a toilet seat museum and can hang it on his wall.

Sincerely though, ... it is a beautiful car. A 61 NY'er ragtop was one of my top picks for a FL car
before I decided on the DeSoto. Jeff Carter's black w/magenta interior example is breathtaking.

Normally not a big fan of any '61s, but this one is first class, top shelf, a real beauty.

I'd drop the top and cruise around all day and into the night until the sun came up and do it all again.

Real nice car.

Leave the trunk appurtenance on it; it does fit the gestalt of the car.

Where's the antenna on it?

Local artist made a music video to boost up his beginning career and they asked me and my NY to participate.
Here it is:

Perhaps it wont hit any charts, who knows. Song tells about drinking and fighting and still he do not know anything better. Typical finnish story
