Back in February 2010 I decided to look for a 1956 Chrysler Windsor. There were no nice cars at the classic car trader, so I searched for a New Yorker as well. Originally I was seeking for a Windsor was the reason, the Windsor had a polysphere combustion chamber engine like my truck I was owning for about ten years.
While searching for a New Yorker the advertisement of a dealer in Milbank S.D. appeared. I fell in love with the color the car was painted. According the picture displayed the interior looked really nice, the engine bay in stock condition like from the factory but with a lot of patina. I noted that the seller had German roots so I trusted and decided to buy it without visiting the car. It was very risky I know, but I got a very rock solid car.
Big thank you to the seller. He linked me to a shipping company in Canada who organised the shipping to my country.
Please enjoy and any comment is appreciated. Thank you.

Starting to a small journey with the neighbor of the landlord. He's a former (retired) police man.




The carburetor I cleaned with brake cleaner. The carburetor got a new set of gaskets as well.


During acceleration I noticed rev limiter like cut offs. This was caused by a loose connection of the lead inside the distributor. later on - in Sweden during a test ride the lead gave up completely. The copper wire was broken inside the isolation.


After a restoration at a car radiator plumber there is no more leakage of coolant at the lower connector. He soldered the cast iron neck again into the brass tank (the lower).


My Hazet 1781-5 arm puller is a little bit too big. The minimal diameter is 4.52". Sooner or later I'm going to get an interface disk to increase the puller diameter. The maximum diameter is 8.85".


Look at this gasket! I bought at Rockauto cheaper and better gaskets... now installed.


No more fuel at the carburetor, but the fuel pump delivers... time to disassemble the filter.








Finally, the new steering gear is installed after a long and carefully done calibration of the center.
