  1958 Chrysler Saratoga- Cared by Same Owner Since 2001!DetailsThis

  1958 Chrysler Saratoga sedan is powered by a 354ci V8 Poly Head

  engine that sends all power to the rear wheels by way of a

  three-speed automatic transmission. The Virgil Exner-styled body is

  painted in red with a white top, and the upholstery is matched with

  the same two-tone leather color. This Chrysler Forward Look styling

  came with many innovations for the period, including a push-button

  automatic transmission, Total Contact hydraulic brakes, and

  Torsion-Aire suspension. In addition, the car comes with quad

  headlights, the period-correct radio, and a 122-inch long chassis.

  The five-digit odometer shows 12,734 miles, but the true mileage is

  unknown, and the previous owner stated that the engine was rebuilt.

  This car has been cared for by the same individual since 2001 and

  is located in New York.The Saratoga shows well in the third-party

  photos and inspection provided. The exterior was likely re-painted

  at some point, the seller notes, and new Coker tires were placed on

  the vehicle last year. The owner states that the transmission was

  rebuilt in 2002. Other refurbishment includes ignition and brake

  work. An exhaustive list can be found below. Scratches and chips in

  the paint and some surface rust can be found on the window trim are

  displayed in the photos and are consistent with the age of the

  vehicle. Buyers should note a spot of perforating rust in the trunk

  and that the car will need brake service since the power brake

  booster is not working appropriately. The interior leather is plush

  and in good condition. Some wear can be found on the dash trim as

  well as the door cards. Mechanically the car runs and drives as

  expected. The owner has included in the sale many spare parts,

  including a hard-to-find original bellows power brake booster. A

  car cover, original owners manual, and four spare brand-new tires

  are also included.This Chrysler is located in Brooklyn, New

  York.About the modelThe Chrysler Saratoga was first introduced in

  1939. The Saratoga was built in six generations, but there were

  three main eras of production. The first era (1) saw the

  model as the top Chrysler offering, the second era (1) saw

  it as the entry-level Chrysler model, and the third era (1)

  saw the Saratoga as Chrysler's intermediate offering. Over the

  course of production, the Saratoga was available in a wide range of

  closed-body styles, including sedan, limousine, and coupe. The

  Chrysler Saratoga was built until 1960, although the Saratoga name

  was re-used from 1 for a European exclusive model that was

  a rebadged Dodge Spirit.Features and Specs12,734 miles shown (Total
