This 1961 Chrysler New Yorker station wagon is a nine-passenger example powered by a 413ci Golden Lion V8 paired with a push-button Torqueflite three-speed automatic transmission.
The 413ci Golden Lion V8 is equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor and produced 350 horsepower when new.
The engine, carburetor, radiator, and transmission were rebuilt during the refurbishment.
Chrysler built 1,436 New Yorker station wagons for 1961, of which 760 were nine-passenger examples.
The styling was a continuation of Virgil Exner’s “Forward Look” design language, and exterior features include quadruple headlamps, upswept tail fins with integrated taillights, chrome trim, and chrome-and-gold accents behind the rear wheel openings.
The body of this car had rust repairs, with deteriorated portions replaced with new metal, and it was later repainted in Formal Black (B).
Most of the chrome and stainless trim was replated or polished.
Black-painted steel wheels feature Chrysler New Yorker covers and are fitted with American Classic whitewall tires.
The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and brakes.
Front disc brakes and a replacement front subframe were installed during the refurbishment.
Red vinyl upholstery (845) is paired with a matching padded dashboard and door panels over black carpeting.
Amenities include air conditioning with front and rear vent controls, as well as lap belts, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, power windows, a power-adjustable front bench seat, and a Golden Touch AM radio.
A two-tone factory steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer displays 48k miles.
