If there ever were a spiritual predecessor to the Dodge Magnum (or, more accurately, the 300C Touring), this 1956 Chrysler New Yorker station wagon for sale on Hemmings.com would be it. You got pure, unadulterated longroof styling without the hardtop flash or the fake wood typical of many 1950s/1960s station wagon, plus you got that Hemi V-8 rumbling under the hood. From the seller’s description:
Finished in classic Mint Green with beautiful Green Plaid interior. This exquisite motorcar has had a full frame-off restoration, with the exception of its chrome and interior, which was left original. A complete engine and transmission rebuild was performed as well. This magnificent motorcar is among one of 1,135 build and one of only 40 known to exist. A Southern California car since new explains the amazing condition.
Note: Our references show a production figure of 1,070.
