Chrysler New yorker, I think don't know the year though.

1946-48 C39 Town & Country conv.

- The most expensive & desirable car of this era, beats even Packard convertibles.

I was at the swap meet, the Lincoln/Zephry club had a meet o the distant end of the green field..the early to mid 30's Lincolns are flat out georgous cars..there was a tripple blue 33 there that would give a Duesenburg a run for its money on looks and we all know a Dues is hard to beat..

And to think, I know a Gent nearby, whom I have bought parts for my car.

He has 2 T&Cs, 1 47 ragtop with an 8 cyl engine, he bought in 1958, still original with about 50k on it, and a 48 sedan 6 cyl, he restored, he has owned since about 1975.

I think his investment has grown a bit over time. His cars are both Catalina Tan, like the one in the video.

OK, that does it!! I am going out right now to buy a '46-'48 T&C convertible but only one flaw in the plan................I still have to win the lottery! Damn, those sure are nice cars!

I may be wrong but I think it is a Ford Sportsman.

The rear fender in the video looks more like chrysler.

It's a T&C for sure-though a bit smaller than usual.

Definitely a Chrysler. I looked again and you can see the wrap around trim on the front fender which continues from the grill. On my computer, the car looks a bit foreshortened and if yours is the same, it looks shorter than it really is.

[Jim Yergin]

Robert,

I bet you are right. It looked too short to me to be a T&C.

Yes, but compare it to the funny looking Chevy new design pick up in the back ground then go look for Blue Skies new design pick up in a close color match. The whole picture is distorted, and some are taking the picture too seriously.

Here is the full size one with the optional Dalmation accessory as shown in some T&C brochures.

In that picture the wheels don't even look round.

I think it's the camera shot or lens when they shot it or most likely the YouTube upload changed the quality.

Yea, but YouTube shouldn't be shortchanging us on our Mopars. When they cut a Chrysler down to where it's getting confused with a ford they've gone too far.

It is not a you-tube shrinking issue. It is the poster to you-tube that altered the clips.

How does he do that Don?

How does he do that Don?

Not sure but my best guess is changing the foot print to distort the size. Such as I just did to this photo.

[BobT-47P15]

Cute, Don. Could now be a European mini Plymouth.

Yes, that's a Town and Country in the clip - with a wierd size

like you said.
