car nerd ◊ 2008-05-14 04:29	And those Kelsey Hays wire wheels
car nerd ◊ 2008-05-14 04:42	I believe they either had the 392 hemi or 413 wedge V8's in these. -- Last edit: 2008-05-14 04:42:32
58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-05-14 05:03	Correct on the 413. My Krause Publications book says that 1959 was the first model year that Chrysler Division received the B-block engine, and it was standard on all models (Windsor and Saratoga 383). No Hemis either! The engine was first used by all other non-Imperial Chrysler divisions the year before. The Golden Lion badge on this car (below New Yorker script) is part of the advertising campaign for the "Lion-hearted" Chryslers. -- Last edit: 2008-05-14 05:08:50
