windsor8 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 Is has been a little over 3 years since my 41 Chrysler has seen the road. I put a new set of new 16" WWW radials from Diamondback on her and had to do a little carb work. Got the carb rebuild kit from NAPA. She awoke and ran good and didn't seem to hold a grudge because of my neglect. May have to do wheel cylinder but she was happy to be out. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 I also just got my 1950 NewYorker hardtop out of a long period of storage too-new tires some brake work and now ready to roll again. Bob Quote

Nothing wrong with a black and Highlander car. A friend has a 1948 Chrysler black Windsor club coupe with the Highlander interior. I like it.Here are a couple pics of the interior of the 50 hardtop.

The wheel and the interior are original-The mottled plastic steering wheel is perfect which in any 1950-52 Chrysler is near impossible to find now days. I'm lucky to have one so nice. I have heard of Pearlcraft too-they do nice work. This car has 59,000 original miles. Seat upholstery needs some minor repairs and cleaning but is totally fine as is. Bob Quote
