NEW YORK MAYOR'S CAR DISCOVERED IN MEDITERRANEAN!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 2, 2008 -- 'CLASSIC' FIND IN CYPRUS

The tradition of Cyprus being home to classical artefacts from bygone days has taken a new twist with the discovery that the island is now home to one of only two vintage cars of its type left in the world - a 1929 Chrysler 75 Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton. The car is now making a rare appearance on the open market, having arrived in Cyprus 5 years ago from the UK with its owner Pete Woodward.

Although the model is rare to the point of being on the brink of extinction, this example of the Chrysler 75 has an interesting pedigree as it approaches its 80th year. From 1929, it was owned by the Mayor of New York - and is only one of 238 ever produced. Pete bought the car 20 years ago and had it shipped to the UK from New York. What happened after the Mayor decided to sell is unknown - but when stripping the car down to its chassis a theatre ticket to see Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour was discovered under the seats!

Restoration work took place across 14 years but Pete has decided that it's time to let go.

He says " I've always liked working on vintage Chrysler cars because they were so advanced compared to other makes .... they were first with hydraulic brakes all round .... and Rolls Royce copied them when Chrysler introduced temperature controlled radiator slats .... but ultimately the joy of motoring is about taking to the open road - and this car doesn't get used as much as it should. So, I've decided to put it on the market and can promise the new owner that it runs like new! "

Photographs and full technical details of this rare vintage vehicle along with details on how to contact Pete Woodward can be found on the leading Cyprus car sales website: www.buysellcarscyprus.com
