1959 Chrysler Imperial New Yorker LeBaron Crown SouthHampton...say ...

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

Hello All;
 I don't know if you noticed but the seller is keeping the bidders
identities secret, I wonder why? I could understand if it was a stack of
dirty books but why bother with the auction of an old car? It sort of makes
me wonder if the seller likes to engage in shill bidding when I see
something like that. Judging from the undercariage at least we know it isn't
a bondo  and chicken wire job, though shiney new paint jobs often make me
nervous when it comes to any used car.
Best Regards

The hubcaps are indeed from a '62 Imperial.  And the
engine has been repainted in the later turquoise
color, rather than the correct black.  Considering
that the whole engine has been painted, I'm inclined
to think that either the engine has been taken out of
the car and rebuilt, or else it has been replaced with
a later engine -- either of which would be odd for a
car that has only been drive 500 miles in the last 30
years (as the ad states).  I'm also not convinced that
the cloth inserts in the seats are the original wool
broadcloth, but it's impossible to tell for sure from
the pictures.

Even so, it IS a pretty car, and a '59 LeBaron is
always a rare and beautiful thing.
