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 door handle escutcheon got a gasket. There was none mounted when I got the Beast. Finally the door handle is tight like on a brand new car.

Cleaned and lubed. The door lock mechanism is ready to mount.

Stitching the drivers side sun visor. Thank you very much.

The drivers door lock mechanism didn't hold the locked state. There was loads of sand and old grease in it.


All bushings at the leaf springs are exchanged now. This is the condition prior to exchange the bushings.









Dissemblance of the air cleaner. The air cleaner is on the way to get dry paper elements.

The air cleaner is mounted and this is how it looks with the hot gas tube to feed the choke thermo coil.

How the copper tube is routed.
