Dita von Teese`s Original Chrysler New Yorker `39
Dita von Teese's Original 1939 Chrysler New Yorker
Dita von Teese, world famous
US Burlesque Performer (her real name Heather Renee Sweet) bought this car
in 1996, when she was not yet that famous as she is today.
She owned and drove this car for more than a decade until 2010, she used it
often for her fashion shootings and movie events at Los Angeles, Ca. USA .
The car was handed over by herself in Dec. 2010 to nowadays owner Thomas
Stromski, of Cologne Germany, the owner of the www.Jaguar-Forum.de - founded
in 1997, now world largest Jaguar-Forum site in German language, voluntarily
giving assistance to the Jaguar-Club.de -Community, by presenting all about
Classic and New Jaguar Cars.
After the acquisition by Mr. Stromski, the car had undergone a major technical overhaul in Los Angeles in Jan 2011, to have it ready for street use with the intention to save as much as possible from the vintage charm that Dita von Teese loved so much for her fine photos. Being from the early period of Dita`s popularity, her photos represent a similar scarcity value of the charming Lady as those seldom photos similar made by Marilyn Monroe, when Dita started her Burlesque Career.
This `39 Chrysler New Yorker is one of only few cars of the first "New Yorker" Series left over. It came in Sahara Tan with a powerful in line 8 Cyl. engine and it war fully special equipped with a manual gearbox plus overdrive, with am/fm radio - still working - and a heating, which also were top options in these pre-war days. The car runs great and it`s lot of fun driving it.
The original pre-war Manual is still existing, also the US Title and lots of Dita`s personal and historical paperwork The car can be seen at Cologne, Germany , + 49 1713492000
History: In the 1960ies, the car was on display at the "Imperial Casino Las Vegas" where it was carefully maintained Then Mr. Doering, an L.A - engineer bought it, as the Casino closed in the 1970s, Within the 1980s he granted her a profound restoration job of body, interior and engine. After Mr. Doering passed away, Mrs. Dita von Teese was lucky to purchase this beauty in 1996 for erotic photos and movies
The car is a well preserved and excellent example. The most famous US Car Reference-Book, "Chronicle Of The American Automobile", listing each car model that had ever been built in the US, presents exactly this car on page 178 as an design-masterpiece of the pre- war "Art-Deco" period – just to preserve it for eternity.
