Neglected Field Find: Five 1962 Chryslers
We just found these five 1962 Chrysler’s in Bellingham, Washington. Not sure why somebody would let these things sit in a swampy area for 15 years but it happened. We just saved these from going to the crusher and the cars are:
- 1962 Chrysler 300H
- 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport 413 2 Door Hardtop
- 1962 Chrysler 300 2 Door Hardtop with a 383
- 1962 Chrysler Newport that is an original black car
- 1962 Chrysler New Yorker 4 Door
See more pictures below. What would you do with these? They are pretty rough.
A New 2014 Chrysler 300S Trim Level
The Chrysler 300, recently revised in 2011, is receiving a new appearance package in 2014 in an effort to keep things fresh. Gloss black is used for the traditionally chrome trim pieces as well as a nice looking Ambassador Blue leather interior. It will be available with both the V6 and V8.

1996 Chrysler Sebring Project, Part 2: DIY Bumper Refresh.
Body shop guys may turn their nose at what I’m about to show you, but if the car cost $750, and it’s a high-mileage daily driver… why would I spend four grand on it in a body shop? This article is for those who want to refresh a beater’s bumper, and make an otherwise decent-looking car look good from more angles.
The bumper skin’s top has weathered away, it feels like a cat’s tongue. It’ll need to be wet sanded and shot with a sandable primer to flatten the surface and make it ready for paint. Read how to fix it after the jump!

1953 Chrysler FirePower Town and Country
Check out this 1953 Town and Country equipped with the 331 FirePower engine. I’m thinking restore the engine, suspension and interior and leave the exterior, and its cool patina, as-is. See it at Hemmings. More pics after the jump!

1996 Chrysler Sebring Project: Part 1
For those of you who don’t know me, I’m a designer by trade, do mechanical work and light restorations on the side, and have blogged elsewhere. From time to time I come across some novelties, things I discover or really cool tips that can make a positive difference for more than one kind of car, and for other people as well. This is one of them…
Craving an older dirt-cheap convertible this summer, I had my choice of Sebring or perhaps a Sebring. You can probably guess what I bought. Yes it’s not the most stellar model to roll off the assembly line, it has its quirks and shortcomings but on the whole I have no regrets, keeping in mind I will sell it in the springtime, the next scheduled sale in an ongoing list of cars, that is my life.
