1st car show with the coupe

[casper50]

Went to the local car show today.  Okay time.  Saw this nice 51 I believe Newport.

how does anyone keep a car that long and yet it remains beautiful? i guess it was restored, but few people would spend the money and time to do that car. many parts are not available. a good steering wheel is very difficult to find. anyway, the car is great.   capt den

Nice Chrysler! Reminds me of the 52 Saratoga Dad had when I was a kid.

The seats weren't done but looked as if everything else had been.

That is a sharp car! How about some pics of your coupe at the show?

[casper50]

I didn't take any.

Sounds like me.  ??

Would have liked to see your car there.

That's a really nice 51 Windsor hardtop... pretty rare car too. 

Still has the original carpets, dash pad, bullseyes and possibly door panels!

 

I have a very similar Chrysler hardtop...a 1950 NewYorker...but with the straight "8"

Factory wires ?

[Dodgeb4ya]

They are factory Motor Wheel wires which Chrysler started offering as a factory option in 1953.

They really shouldn't be on a 50 but I like em and have them on another 52 Chrysler also.
