Feedback ...is this car ugly? Most of Hemichrysler's friends think she is ugly. What do you think?
This car has had only 3 owners. I traced the original owners; he is now 91 years old. I hope he reaches 100 years! I wrote them a letter and received a very nice reply for my auto records!
I am trying to trace the second owner, Mr Chad Shafer of Scottsdale, Arizona. Are you out there Mr Shafer? Does anyone know him?
Please take a look at the other vehicles in my virtual garage.

I had the exact same car color, leather interior, tilt & telescopic steering wheel. plus power side vent windows. My parents gave it to me,after about owing it for eight months. They thought it was a lemon, due to too many electrical problems. It went threw batteries, starters and alternators on a regular basis. My brother inlaw worked at a dealership so I had a good parts supply! My friends loved it! at the time I was 19, so we could fit at least eight kids in the old new yorker and party away.We actually drove this car up mountain roads and up a ski trail where we all hung out in Up-state New York. It was OK driving up, but when I had to back it up and turn it around, it was a work out...
The only thing I didn't like about it was the color....It was a nicely styled car, I couldn't believe your picture when I saw it! Good Luck!!! My New Yorker lasted me almost eight years and saw me threw college.
