1965 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER TOWN SEDAN COLORADO CAR 75K MILES BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL

1965 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER TOWN SEDAN

History

The introduction of the all new 1965 Chrysler line featured ads proclaiming “The most beautiful Chrysler ever built, Agreed?” The lineup was the first effort of a new to Chrysler designer, Elwood Engel, who had defected from Ford in 1961. He had designed the elegant 1961 Lincoln lines as well. The public must have agreed, as a record 224,061 new Chryslers of all series rolled off the line at Jefferson assembly in Detroit. A total of 16,339 New Yorker Town Sedans were produced in 1965. They came with a 340 HP 413 cubic inch 4 barrel V8 engine, backed by a 727 Torqueflite transmission. Power Steering and Power drum brakes were standard.

The New Yorker Town Sedan featured in this auction is by far the nicest original 65 Chrysler I have ever owned and I have owned about 30 of them! It sold new at Griffith Chrysler in Denver, Colorado. It still wears the Griffith keyfob on the original keys! The car was in the hands of the original owners in Boulder Colorado until early 1990. A neighbor across the street from the original owners purchased the car when they retired from driving. After a 5 years of paying for a storage unit, he decided to sell. The mileage at that time was around 73,000. I purchased the car from him in June 1995 and drove it home to Indianapolis. Because of the low mileage and the beautiful condition, I have driven this car very little in the 23 years of my ownership. The current mileage is 75,959. I am sure that this is the correct original mileage. I have always garaged the car during my ownership as it has always been garaged. The mileage is exempted on the Indiana title in my name. It is registered and insured in Indiana. I have entered this car in several Car Shows. It usually takes second place to fully restored Mopars!
