John, If I didn't already know this was a picture of models I would swear it was a picture of 1/1s.

Once again some magnificent photos John Merritt!  Just a few days ago I did one of my "I'VE GOT MAIL" threads featuring this beautiful Chrysler.  Here is the brochure again.

DM 57 CHRYSLER NY SPORT COUPE #1

The actual model is absolutely incredible!

The '57 Chryslers, to me, were the epitome of their "Forward Look" designs. The purest and simplest design was the 300C.

Sorry. For a moment this morning, I was going with the 300C, but I have other plans for it, so then came the NY.

John Merritt you don't have to apologize for using the New Yorker, because it's absolutely gorgeous. The extra bling makes it a standout in any crowd.

I second that John.  Those old pop machines are as much a part of our youth as the cars were.  Just so many great memories.
