next ya need one of these...swamp cooler
Those work great where it's dry heat. Where there's high humidity, not so much. I looked into one for my 53 Windsor and scrapped the idea pretty fast.
Yep, I'll bet that is correct. If it's truly a northeast car, the lack of heater would explain how it survived... It just never got driven in the cold.
It would be interesting to know the story on this one.

Why do so many folks think that because a car in in a particular place, that that is where it always has been.....?
Even if this car was stored in NY most of it's life the chrome and trim wouldn't be in such great shape. My guess is it came from the upper mid west or eastern Pacific northwest.
Tom, do you have any of the history on the car ....? Check for a build sheet, (upper glove box is a good place to look). Chrysler historical, for a small fee, will provide a copy of the IBM card and where the car was delivered new.

I don't have it other than there is a good chance the car was built in the St.Louis Plant according to the SN# decode I did.[QUOTE="Samplingman, Why would someone order heater delete, especially in northern NY? QUOTE]

As a possibility, since it's on the Seneca Nation right now, it may have come from Oklahoma. There's a Seneca tribe there. Possibly it came east with someone.[QUOTE="Samplingman, Why would someone order heater delete, especially in northern NY? QUOTE]

Well the current owner claims it's been on the reserve since new but the build sheet may tell a different story

They must not have salted the roads on the reservation.
I didn't have much to add to the chatter about your very sweet new ride... but I wanted to post so the thread would hit my "watch list"... yep, I know there's a button... but I like to "talk".
My absolute favorite thing about your particular car, Tom... Even in line with other Forward Look cars, this one will stand out for being a zero option survivor. That and I like cars that few know how to drive anymore (3 on tree).
We love a member who takes their abuse well...

I'm trying to come up with a name for the car
"Zippy" comes to mind so when admirers ask what options it has I can say "zip" or maybe "Del" or "Nadda" or go German on them and name it "Nusht"

I like the idea but there are a few too many silly ables
Back in 1960, buying a new car wasn't something that a lot of Indians in that area would have been able to do. Things were pretty tough before tax free cigarettes and casinos came along.
This car may have some real history. It may have belonged to someone of importance within the Senecas. Given that it is a Seneca itself may have had something to do with it being where it is.

This is a good possibility
I'll do some investigation if I can
