Location: So. Cal | Looks really nice. If it were mine, I would swap out those aluminum door frames with some steel ones from a Windsor and paint them body color. I think it looks better that way. Either that, or I might just black anodize the aluminum to make them blend in even more. |

Location: Upstate NY | It would take some money to put it back in close to original shape. The sheet metal seems solid as he states. Was there a strap on the back of the front seat on New Yorker's??? |

Yes there was. My '57 NYer 4dr hardtop has the exact same strap. |

Location: North Australia | It's been 2 days since this was posted. I am surprised it has not sold? I think this is lot of car for the money. Looks great!
Matt, I have seen pics of 57 Imperials with the push out rear quarter glass.

| he has had it for sale for a long time, he didn't have pictures though, he didn't answer the phone when I called. Old guy and probably cranky 
It needs to come down slightly but I think that would happen normally in haggling a bit. Maybe he is firm on price, pretty nice car actually and all original.
going to need some work, I like those window frames |

Location: Oley, PA | Looks like a pretty cool car at that price... assuming that it's not full of bondo. Dark blue with a green interior looks unusual to me. Is that the original colors? |
