For Sale 1949 Chrysler New Yorker - $750

[1978 NYB]

Put a metric Hemi drivetrain in it....

Look how long the hood and front fender are on this car. I like the lines on this beast. Look at the monster New Yorker emblem on the hood!!!

Cool car.... Looks almost beyond reasonable chance of restoration.

It's a 46-48. The 49's got a face lift and would look like this:

Wow! Looks great!

The unique proportions of those particular cars have always caught my eye.

I would put a Cummins out of a pu in it.

You're on the right track, That long narrow engine bay is screaming for an inline six, huge puffed oil burner. No stacks, though, please...

 

[70bigblockdodge]

No weed burner/Prius smoker exhaust.

 

[commando1]

Now THAT I like.

We have at least one 47 coupe here in Finland (a California car originally). Looks like it has a similar front end.

This one is still a project, but I hope to see it running & driving this summer...

These were slightly facelifted prewar models that were pretty much unaltered until the 49s came out.
I like These a lot, the ones from 49-54 have considerably weaker design.

You'd have to leave the straight 8 in it.... You don't see any and it's so impressive to see that long engine when that long hood is open.

That car for sale is actually a 1949, what was called a First Series. The newly-styled (and uglier) Second Series are also called 1949.

If it still has straight 8 that is savable I would leave it.

No. I have fond memories of Tiujana...

Actually it is not a business coupe, just coupe with a rear seat, like this:
