Description:
**2 pm FEATURE VEHICLE** 1953 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country Wagon. Caravan Beige over Cocoa Brown Metallic. "Alligator" Naugahyde interior. This stunning, original-condition Town & Country has had one family owner until just earlier this year. 82K miles from new. Hood and front fenders were repainted in 1955 (after an encounter with a dust storm) but otherwise this car is completely original. Power steering and power brakes. Original and super rare "Alligator" interior and "Original finish" wood in great shape. Split fold-down rear seats. Fluid-Drive semi-automatic transmission has a clutch pedal that is only used at rest or to shift into reverse. The motor starts easily and runs smoothly. Brakes well with a tight suspension. Exhaust is quiet. New Coker radial tires wrapping Kelsey Hayes wire wheels . One of only 1399 ever built and most probably the best original example in existence. Great story that is immortalized with family photos and framed historical narratives. Original wheels and hubcaps are included in the sale as well as original keys, sales brochures and preservation "award" trophies available for pick-up in Portland area. A unique opportunity that won't come around again. Don't miss it!
