Here is a one owner 1964 Chrysler New Yorker 9 passenger hardtop found on Hemmings with a price of $25,000 that is in original and near pristine condition. Seeing the beautiful pillarless design make one wonder why this was the last year of the hardtop wagon. Loaded with the luxurious options of the day, the New Yorker’s white interior is roomy and looks fantastic with the black exterior. The headliner and plastic bows are described as new as is the black plastic steering wheel. The rubber weatherstripping is soft, supple and crack free. The factory air conditioning is said to blow cold and all the gauges are also in working order.
Nothing is harder to maintain than black paint but the original factory black exterior is a testament to how well the New Yorker has been maintained over the years. The chrome, mouldings and exterior script is also original and appears to be near perfect.
Mechanically the powerful New Yorker has a 413ci wedge engine matched with a pushbutton Tourqueflight transmission. The owner says the car still has plenty of power for highway cruising and he even will use it to transport his boat with ease.
With only 1,603 9-passenger New Yorkers produced in 1964 there can’t be too many left and there certainly can’t be too many as original as this one.
Love the hardtop wagons. The styling was really cool in the late 50s and early 60s.
I had one. I grew up in it. It was my Grandfather’s wagon. Then my Mom’s, then I got it. Mine was a 6 pass. The 413 blew, and my Grandpa put a 440 HIPO in it. To bad the engine blew too. I didn’t have the cash to fix her. I miss that wagon. A lot of adventurers in that wagon. The road trips to southern Oregon. If I was rich I get 1 again. Finding parts was not fun. This black one is so cool.
I had one of these. it was cream with a red interior. I loved it and it was lost to me. I still miss and long for that beautiful car.
I have a nice, rust-free one of these, but it’s missing the front seat and rear facing seat. Anyone have a lead on the seats close to the Gulf Coast ?
