Harry Truman’s 1955 Chrysler New Yorker for Sale: $83,500

• A restored 1955 Chrysler New Yorker that was once owned by President Harry Truman could be yours, if you don't mind buying a vehicle that doesn't run.

• Restorations were done inside and out, including new exterior paint, plenty of chrome touches, and a redone (but not currently working) 331-cubic-inch Hemi V-8 engine.

• Truman reportedly drove this 1955 New Yorker on a 19-day road trip after leaving office. The trip was supposed to be low-key but turned into such a story that it became the subject of an entire book in 2011.

If you’ve ever been interested in owning a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker but didn't want just any version still floating around, have we got news for you. There's an example currently on sale that's a true rarity in the automotive world: a car that wasn't just owned by a former president but one that was also used by Harry Truman as his personal daily driver once he left office.

The presidential offering has a lot going for it, including the fact that it's been fully restored inside and out. Other "pros" include the restored 331-cubic-inch Hemi V-8 engine and a two-speed Powerflite automatic transmission that powers the rear wheels. Well, it did, anyway. The one "con" about this car is that it does not run. For car collectors, that's really just a list of pros.

The list goes on, according to the sales description at Classic Auto Mall, which is selling the vehicle. The New Yorker is painted black with chrome accents and trim decorations throughout. The seller claims the steel panels are rust-free, although there is some "slight cracking" resulting from an earlier restoration. White sidewall tires complete the classic exterior look.

The interior is covered in tan leather and cloth as well as, of course, more chrome. The swinging doors are "near perfect," and the dashboard has all of the 1950s analog dials and buttons you could ever want, including a dash-mounted shifter.
