look for rust starting at front of Rocker Panel and the bottom of rear fenders. look at inner panels of fenders. Seam on arm rest will be going bad. Steering wheel cracked if in the sun much, and the Dash pad will be curling up in most cases. Most 55 pads will not be removed without removing windshield first but you can use 56 windshield post extensions to make do.
In general body fit and corrosion are the worst enemies, with the upholstery going bad next. Engine may suffer from too many cold starts and be smoking and noisy.

Subject: [FWDLK] 55 New Yorker
I have a chance this week to look at a 55 New Yorker sedan for sale. Its
supposed to be a 88,000 one owner rust free car in very good original
shape. Is there anything I should be on the look out for as far as trouble
with this year Chrysler?. I know its hard to set a value with out anyone
seeing this car ,but what would be a ballpark price range ?.
Thanks
Clay Smith
