Re: IML: OT 1954 New Yorker to be Auctioned April 2, 2005 in Iowa

["A. Foster" <monkeypuzzle1@xxxxxxx>]

Actually folks;
  It's a 54' New Yorker Deluxe, meaning that it had the same four barrel
carb and dual exhaust as my Imperial. Regular New Yorkers had the two barrel
and single exhaust as they replaced the Saratoga for a few years. D^2,
you're right about the gas pedal but it should have a shaft sticking out of
the floor. I do like the interior though, it has much better quality
upholstery then the junker NYer that I saw around here as it has leather,
more like the Imperial aside from the door panels. I have always wondered
what a Highlander interior would look like in my Imperial but I have never
seen it in a car that new. I believe that they used a wool broadcloth with
the tartan weave for this, much like a kilt, rather appeals to the Scott in
me.

Already has a colourful interior but looks more like a Navahoe blanket.

Daily driver?  Dick, this car does not have brakes!  Literally.  Look at the
interior picture (second from left).  There is only one pedal there.  Or may
be
that's the brakes pedal, and the car does not have a throttle.  May be its
throttle by wire, and there is a connector that plugs into the driver's
brain.

OK, that's 1954, may be not :)
