High octane Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 This piece was dropped on my doorstep last week. The 1958 Chrysler New Yorker from Danbury Mint in Spring & Cypress Greens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 The two-tone colors did help sell that Chrysler, and I just love the chrome and fins of the 50's cars as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 A '48 Chevy? I've been limiting my die-casts to cars of the 50's except for some dragsters and Pro-Stocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Love the old Chryslers. That 48 Chevy is VERY nice. Nick, that's close enough to 50's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick, that's close enough to 50's I just saw pics of the '48 Chevy on their website, and while nice, it's not joining my stable of cars.

MAGNUM4342 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Nice on. We had a 1978 New Yorker almost the same color. It had an oil leak from the word go they never could find. My dad called up old Iacocca himself and when the dust settled, we had gotten back every dime spent. Dad went across the street and bought a Old's 98 with one of the early diesel engines. I always hated that Olds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have more cars than I'll ever be able to display and I have the kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a display case with room for more die-casts and also for another shelf or two(?). I also have a display case for my built ups with room for another shelf as well. I better get building.
