Overdrive swap

[John32369]

I have found a 48 Chrysler club coupe with a fluid drive transmission with overdrive but no title for 800$. Will that transmission and overdrive fit my 47 Desoto club coupe?

[pflaming]

It certainly should.  Nice find.

  Yes it will.    so will a lot of other parts.

PLEASE don't scrap that car after you have pulled what you want from it. It seems to have a lot of parts that some people here would surely want,and AFATG's,somebody might want to buy the whole car  to put on the road. Legal titles aren't that hard to get in most states.

Oh don’t worry, I wouldn’t scrap it. I was planning on offering parts to anybody here or selling the body to whoever wants it.

Can you tell by the pics if it’s a New Yorker or

a Windsor, or what model it is?

From the length of the hood it looks like a New Yorker to me..

2 tell tales on windsor or new yorker...8 cylinder new yorker, 6 windsor.

Big fender between door and front wheel new yorker.

small fender windsor

To me it looks like you have a Windsor club coupe with the same wheel base as your desoto.....lots of parts body and frame interchange.

It’s a Windsor
