    1965 New Yorker- new springs for towing

    I had some time last weekend to install the new springs I had purchased from ESPO (Springs and Things). The originals on my '65 New Yorker were flat, in fact they had reverse curvature when the gas tank was full. Note this is without the trailer attached! Here's how the rear wheels looked...

    What is this knob on the dash of this '66 New Yorker? Is it original?

    Looked at a New Yorker that had this knob/switch on the dash. Didn't seem to control anything and I'm not sure if it's original or not. The knob had flutes on it and turned. Thanks, Carl K.
