Doremonger Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 I just bought a 1948 New Yorker business coupe and wondering if there are build sheets available for these plus reprints of manuals? Thanks in advance. Quote
desoto1939 Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 You can contact the old Chryslerr historical to purchase a build sheet about your car. Do a search of topics and it is listed on where to write to costs approx $50. i did it for my 1939 Desoto and got some great info. Search on Ebay for manuals for your car. You do not need an original but a copied manual is just fine. Also you do not have to have a copy of the manual in your car if you are having your car ever judged. The parts and service manual are only needed if a judge thinks a part was not delivered with your car or as a non-option piece of equiptment. Rich hartung desoto1939@aol.com Quote

Doremonger Posted January 27 Author Report Posted January 27 Thanks for the replies. Just what I was asking for. Photos below. 1 Quote
Doremonger Posted January 27 Author Report Posted January 27 Also, is anyone aware of a registry for these cars? I have found a couple of old listings claiming 4-5 exist but about 700 were made ‘46-48 and that sounds like an extremely low survival rate for a high end trim model. Quote

Thanks in advance. Kissimmee or Barret Jackson? Ahhh....a closer look at the photos gives it away....found the listing. Beautiful car! Edited January 27 by Sam Buchanan Quote
