1953 Chrysler New Yorker

• Metallic brown two-door hardtop body with a cream roof presents glossy and straight, with heavy bright chrome on the grille, bumpers and side trim.
• Wire-spoke wheels with wide whitewall tires are shown in close-up and look clean.
• Badging in the photos reads New Yorker Deluxe on the front wing and Newport on the cream roof pillar.
• The engine bay shows a Chrysler FirePower V8 with silver valve covers and a black air cleaner, plus a modern red battery, and presents tidy.
• Brown-and-cream two-tone bench interior, front and rear, presents clean and un-torn, with a cream steering wheel and a clean, taut light headliner.
• The trunk is brown-carpeted with a whitewall spare wheel and a binder of paperwork inside it, and presents clean.
• No underside photos are in the set, so the floors and frame can't be judged.
• No clear odometer reading can be read from the dash close-up in the set, so the mileage can't be verified from the photos.

Money: At $48,500 the money buys a glossy, complete-looking early-Hemi Chrysler with a clean two-tone interior and trunk on this evidence; the underside is the one thing that can't be judged at this price.
