Great old Chryslers! And here's a '59 that adds a slightly different tone. (PICs)

You've got me itching to add to my Chrysler collection. Nice.

OK Barry, despite my concerns about the roof, you have sold me.

I already have the '61 Newport Sedan, a '60 Chrysler 300 Hdtp, so that '62 will fit right in. I ordered a '62 in black today. Now I am excited to add it to the fleet.

Great! Mine arrived safe and sound - and quickly too! - from Italy.

The pictures I've seen of the black '62 New Yorker all show wide whitewalls, while the pics of the white one show narrow ones. I'll be curious to see what yours looks like when it arrives!
Speaking of whitewalls it's interesting to see the transition from wide to narrow in steps from the '60 to the '61 to the '62.
The packaging, and the display base and cover, of this Kess product are virtually identical to the NEOs. Maybe made at the same factory in China?
