IMHO one of the best designed cars of all time. Love the pics.

Beautiful Mighty Chryslers. I think these had the most graceful fins of the 50s.
I have these 57s:
DM Cloud white 300C convertible
DM Indian Turquoise New Yorker convertible
DM Regatta Blue New Yorker coupe
FM Regimental Red 300C convertible (Ltd. Ed.)
FM Forest Green 300C convertible (Ltd. Ed.)
My turquoise New Yorker has the correct rear ride height. Personally, I don't mind the more raked height. Makes it look a bit more sporty.
Still hoping to get the '58 Cypress Green New Yorker coupe and Garnet Maroon convertible someday. They are rare and command a lofty price when they do come up. I've gotten over the fact that DM did not quite get the front grill of the 58 NYers quite right. They're a bit too wide. It's why I never went for them when they were offered by DM. So dumb!
