Expert Posts: 1234 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Ramona, CA | wizard - 2018-06-04 3:25 AM Just read up on the switch from left-hand to right-hand traffic in Sweden, the right-hand "general" Lars Skiöld used this Chrysler limosine as his functional service car. I'm puzzled by this car - it seems to have the Windsor short front fenders, but it as the sill moldings, wheel well moldings and chevrons from a New Yorker. Not sure why they have the mixed chassis but I like the fact that they reworked the doors to make the fin line look proper. The airport limos I've seen they just put a level fin section between the front door and the back. This one they reshaped the front doors and start the fin on the back door.

Expert 5K+ Posts: 7219 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | This one is an airporter, and has the fin going right up into the front door as well but this is on the long wheelbase (Saratoga). Just look at the size of those tires, on 15 inch wheels. They're huge. Edited by imopar380 2020-04-13 8:20 PM (60ChryLimo.JPG) Attachments ---------------- 60ChryLimo.JPG (46KB - 654 downloads) | ||

Just look at the size of those tires, on 15 inch wheels. They're huge. You can see how the fin line levels off in the middle doors. Easier to do than that formal limo. | ||

That photo was taken on boulevard Laurier, looking east, in Quebec City, Canada, almost in front of the Veteran's hospital now known aas the Laval University Hospital. Here's the same view now. Almost nothing is recognizeable, but I assure you, that's the exact same spot. If you really have a good eye, the main hospital building is still there and you can make out its shape, somewhat. https://www.google.com/maps/@46.7685337,-71.2855899,3a,75y,65.08h,91...

Regular Posts: 65 ![]() ![]() | Say, that '57 'sweep on a stick was no easy feat! To get that pole thru the roof and to remain for some 50 years. Appears to have little rust and no drive train though. Wonder how they managed to make the chassis look "loaded". | ||

Expert Posts: 2485 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | It looks like there's a trailer axle type of setup on the front, though probably with flanges welded at the ends of the tube rather than hubs, it's attached across the frame, no wishbones, no torsion bars. On the back I think I see some restraining bars coming down to the shock absorber mount area. | ||
