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.

The front axle we disassembled together at my stay at Wizard's. The front end was on stands. The spring we removed with a thick rope to secure the spring and a hydraulic jack.

Adjusting of the Powerflite transmission.




At this opportunity we found the socket of the map light. It was laying on top of the switches below the map light. After replacing the bulb and press in the socket into the hole it's working again. Fixing it during the exchange of the wiper motor would be definitely easier.

I visited Wizard for a test ride to check the results of the work on the rear axle. The rear axle with all new bearings, adjuster shims and shaft seals.
