Canadian built, shipped over to France? Is that where you are? Cool car. Nice find. Does it run? What are your plans with it?

yes canadian ship to france and i find it recently, the guy who find this car in manitoba buy it after 40 years in a garage and one owner.

and now he don't know what to do realy with the car cause he statr the engine, rebuild the brake and the car wont start again now, i saw the car and it's an electrical issue, cause the ignition is ok but the starter motor don't run.

so the guy who sell me the car is more familiar with the american cars of the 70's.....   so i buy it before someone find this chrysler.

Congratulations for the awesome find, 

Monsieur Adrian!

 

I like the 1942 C the best of all 40's Mopars, it has clean design, the best looking front end and the coolest brightwork.

The 40's Mopars drive as good as any 50's US car and the flathead engines are reliable as work horse.

 

Grab it, enjoy it, and keep us posted!

Adrian , nice looking Chrysler. Are you still keeping and working on the '41 dodge club coupe?

 

Is it a Vacamatic semi-automatic or a 3 speed?

hello, yes still working on the dodge :) and this chrysler is a vacamatic trans yes :)  this car was available with a standard fluid drive like the dodge?? i thought it was standard on chrysler

 

If your car has the vacamatic transmission it also has the fluid drive.

Your 1942 is a very rare car as production stopped in January 1942 in the US. 

If it is a Canadian model it surprised me that they were produced as Canada was already involved in the war.

Limited production for essential service I would guess.

Ok :)

 

the body number is 371 so beguening of production i guess

 

The car is built at windsor plan, so i don’t know realy what happen at this time but i ready there is only 1713 built of this model
