Stunning 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe For Sale

If you’re like me and get goosebumps from the thunk of a real metal door closing, the smell of 1950s broadcloth upholstery, and the sound of a carbureted V8 firing up under a heavy steel hood—then let me introduce you to something real special: a 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe, now up for grabs at LaFontaine Classic Cars in Milford, Michigan.

Back in the day, Chrysler wasn’t aiming for cigar-smoking CEOs or trust-fund socialites. Chrysler was the working man’s luxury brand, and the New Yorker was their gold standard. With bold American styling, rich interiors, and big HEMI power, this thing was more than just a car. It was a statement: “I’ve made it.”

A Deluxe With Real Muscle – 

This isn’t your grandpa’s plain-Jane sedan. Under that long, stylish hood is a 5.4-liter (331 cubic-inch) FirePower HEMI V8, making 235 horsepower and 330 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s the same engine that helped put Chrysler on the performance map. And with a 4-barrel carburetor, it breathes like a locomotive—smooth and confident. In true Chrysler fashion, it’s paired with the brand-new-for-1954 2-speed PowerFlite automatic transmission, shifting buttery smooth with just the nudge of a dash-mounted lever.

Exterior: Flash With Class – 

Finished in an eye-catching Peacock Blue enamel, this New Yorker Deluxe oozes mid-century American swagger. The redesigned 1954 grille stretches wide and low, complemented by chrome wheel covers, new headlamp bezels, and bold wrap-around bumpers. And yes—every panel is dressed with heavy chrome moldings and stone guards that gleam like they’re fresh out of Detroit.

Interior: Green With Envy – 

Slide into the two-tone green broadcloth interior and you’ll instantly be transported back to an era when car cabins looked like living rooms. Front and rear center armrests are a nod to Cadillac-level comfort, but this Chrysler was for folks who worked hard for what they had. It’s got power steering, power brakes, and enough Art Deco flair to make a jukebox jealous.

What Makes This One Special – 

This six-passenger sedan isn’t just another survivor—it’s a beautifully preserved example of what Chrysler did best: deliver premium comfort and serious power at a price real Americans could afford. Today, that same working-class-luxury spirit is on full display, but now with vintage appeal and investment-grade charm.

Ready to Drive or Display – 

Whether you’re heading to your local Cars & Coffee or just want something in your garage that feels alive, this New Yorker Deluxe fits the bill. The folks at LaFontaine have it listed for $29,995; with this kind of style and history, that’s a steal.
