1946 Chrysler Windsor Bus Coupe

[Shawn F.]

I was wanting to get more information on my 46 Chrysler Windsor Business Coupe as far as numbers on how many were actually built and what the value on one would be all original with 67,000 original miles but not running. Usual rust in the quarters, motor is free but needs tuned up, new fluids, battery, etc. I was told about 407 were made in this year and 1,980 total from 46-48? How accurate is this? I know value can't be told really without seeing it but some here may remember seeing it in person or in photos I posted when I first bought it. I cannot find the photos on here and do not have my computer anymore that has the photos of it. Hopefully I can post new ones tomorrow.

Any info on estimated value would be great. I am thinking about selling it and using the money towards my business is the only reason I am curious. Not 100% sure yet if I will sell but it's an idea I am throwing around.

Thanks in advance!

BTW, the car is complete, Fenton visor, and all original. Needs restoration of course... Floor patches and rear part of the quarters. Other than that it's rust free.

Shawn;

Were you at the POC meet a few years back?

[Shawn F.]

Yes sir that was me. The young guy.

That's always a tough call. Low production numbers dont always make for big $$, unfortunately. For some reason 40's and 50's Mopars just dont seem to bring in the $$ like their Ford and Chevy counterparts. Just all the top of my head i'd start around $5K.

The people in the UK and elsewhere sure seem to like the 1946-8  MoPar business coupes. The Chrysler 3 passenger business coupes can comand pretty good money. A local 1948 NewYorker business coupe-very low production of around 600 in the 3 year run fetched close to $34,000 a couple years ago off Epay.
