1963 Chrysler New Yorker Wagon

Got a local guy trying hard to trade this wagon to me. I'd do it but it has a bad spot in the frame at the rear. I have that 64 Chrysler parts car that has a good frame.

Those models with those bucket seats seemed to crack at the seams early in their lives. Given how nice this example looks, I am thinking it must have pretty low miles, and it seems well optioned with power windows and power seats on both sides. But no a/c.

That thing has possibilities, especially if you trade for it. Could a section of the 64's frame be grafted to repair the 63's bad spot? Those hard top wagons are so cool! Anymore pics?

That's all the pics I have right now. I haven't seen the car in person. These pics are about a year old

The seller said it was a silver gray with the red interior. If I get it I'll probably do a color change.

Well I'm knee deep in the 77 Fury & D440. Getting ready to send Woffen my 72 Wagon for floor pans. Even if I did get it I just don't see any time or funds to start on it. I'm still trying to buy the 66 Ford wagon. Plan to stop & see that guy today. I agree it's a cool ole car.

Airtemp AC was in limited supply in those days. Employees were not allowed to order air in their co. cars unless they lived in the south. Or were V.P. level. Dad was able to get the dual air in his 63 wagon since we were taking summer vacation in Ariz. and Cali. From 66 on he always had ac in his "big" cars.

I'd like to see this one restored. Looks loaded like ours was.

I would have to paint it back to gray. Yellow with red interior? Maybe he was color blind, that is not an appealing combination, but I love the car. Wouldn't be deal breaker, but the rust....
