Those 1960 New Yorker coupes are one of my all time favorite vehicles ever - just outstanding styling and much less complexity to maintain than my 300F so they are more enjoyable to me overall.....

Here is the monroney from my 1960 Chrysler 300F two door hardtop, and it has just about every option available except a power antenna....................and the 1961 300G convertible wasn't all that much more expensive. They were pretty exotic cars for their time................. The...

Here is a video of one of the programs that highlights one of the Chrysler 300 Letter cars: Here is the episode – Jan. 25, 1961. Skip to 29:00 in the program to see the car: The Price is Right (January 25, 1961 | #61_0016) - YouTube

If I am understanding correctly, you the one who set up the collection and did the displays - just a superb work of art - everything is just really amazing.

Here is a video tour of a great Mopar Collection - it was this era of cars that made me Chrysler crazy. One of the family members of this collection is on our site as most of you probably know.........

There are two 300 F's in front of it........................................

I would just add that I was actually surprised at how thin the trunk floor metal was in those early 60s Chrysler trunk floors and it is no wonder they didn't do well in the real world rust wise. It was significantly more thin than in our C bodies at least. So the C2C ones likely aren't far off...

A friend of mine obtained a floor pan for my 1961 Chrysler New Yorker that I believe came from overseas, likely Sweden. He also bought a few of them for his restorations. I have sent him a note requesting the details of how you might also obtain one. It is very high quality and should be...

As a regular production option the Newport models began in 1961. There were other models much earlier ranging from a show car in 1940 and some sub-models with that name in the 1955 era that implied a 2 door hardtop model.

It would be best to look online or in the factory catalogs for 1961-2 for accurate applications and dimensional differences but for 1961 both the New Yorkers and the 300G models got the longer fenders - I am not sure which ones the Saratogas, Windsors or Newports got. For 1962 the New Yorkers...

I guess I didn't realize you had so many letter cars! I love the L as well - great colors!! Thanks for sharing.

Whenever I see such a well done Forward Look such as yours, I just have to wonder how a group of stylists could converge on such an unusual design with so many different elements and yield such an attractive outcome. Your restoration efforts put it over the top. Congratulations on a job well done!

I am not aware of family inter relationships but all I do know is that a guy named Mike now runs the business and also has other related ventures in progress. He is a good guy and his two helpers are also very helpful and honest about the condition of their parts. I have used them many times...

Which one there is his son, Mike or ???

Is your first one a 4 door as well, or a 2 door? Yes, the sheet metal in those cars was generally pretty stout, except for the trunk floor pan that was unusually thin and quickly subject to rust holes. 60 New Yorkers are just great automobiles and as noted above, even their 4 door styling...

I really rank the 1960 New Yorker as one of the best ever designs. In some ways I prefer it to my 300F just because it is so much easier to work on and maintain compared to my 300F with its ram induction. I haven't shown it for a while now so here it is again since you brought these 1960...

It is unusual to see eye to eye with someone on a topic like this, but I agree with all your assessments. The only caveat is that I feel the 300F goes in just before the 62 300Hs. I obtained 3 of the 4 many decades ago when they were affordable, otherwise I would not have even 3 of them. The...

I tend to agree with CBODY 67 since I have seen numerous cast iron early Torqueflites that were radiator cooled and some that were air cooled. However, I don't recall seeing any aluminum Torqueflites that were not radiator cooled.

I am surprised the Dodge didn't rate at least equal in your eyes. I actually liked the Polaras the best but I preferred the 1960 Chryslers to the 1961s....................

Its always hard to see an old friend go. Time to get another one. That Fury is pretty nice with straight body panels, minimal rust down low in the rockers that is usual on those models and very complete.
