    HA! I am also missing the right rear gravel mould trim ,they are the rarest of the rare ,in 4 years i have seen one for sale AS part of a set that went for $750!

    The only hard part on mine was getting the kick down to work ,with the original carb in the centre ,there isn't enough vacuum for the kick down to work ,so put in a switch ,like a shift right to make the car shift down from 4th to third .Works perfectly

    I have a 41 windsor with a triple carb set up ,the centre carb is the original ,with the fluid drive it was essential, the outer two are standard b and b.Runs like a champ with the twin exhaust pipes and split manifold.The only problem was insufficient vacuum to work the kick down but that is now working with an electric switch to kick it down.

    My 19,000 mile original 1948 NewYorker has black wheels ,however it is a black car ,so this proves nothing and helps little.

    That seems a great buy at $10500 ,easily worth that in the Uk!

    I was told 6 to 7 square yards for a 41 chrysler windsor convertible in Highlander plaid.

    i have a 48 new yorker with 2 OPTIMA batteries in parallel ,it turns over very quickly,I also have a 41 Windsor with a single OPTIMA ,it seems to be fine but not as quick as the new yorker with two .Both cars are generator equipped .Seems like the smaller 6 cylinder engine is fine with just one.

    i i used them for skirts for my 41 windsor ,they are really nice ,would use them again!

    I have 97s outside pair but the middle carb is the original B and B as I needed it to handle the fluid drive Anti stall feature,seems to work pretty well when warmed up after about 5 minute .Not sure if the gas consumption is much better or worse!
  21. normanpitkin
    I too have dual exhaust with headers and glass pack mufflers ,quite loud when i put my foot down but cruising at 60 is ok ,bearing in mind its a convertible so pretty noisy anyway!
  22. normanpitkin
    Expect to pay about $100 a yard for the correct plaid
