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.

Removable drums. No need to remove the hubs for a brake service. The brake cylinders I replaced myself two years ago.







This center plane is bent. Wizard corrected it.

New rear axle seal with press in tool made by Wizard.

This is the center hub of a rear axle brake. Now I could service the brake shoes and springs without removing the hub as well. It's a lot easier way now.

The differential carrier with all hardware, including all new bearings, but the original ring gear and pinion shaft. At the picture here it's finally assembled and the lash is adjusted.


Both wheel bearings at the rear axle are shot.



Wizard works very carefully. I could recommend Wizard to you all.

Nice comparison between the 1960 Saratoga of Sven and my Beast, the 1956 New Yorker. The length and width is within parts of an inch, but my Beast is 6 inch higher.
