1948 Chrysler Windsor

For sale in our St. Louis showroom is a beautiful 1948 Chrysler Windsor C38 7P. The Chrysler Windsor was produced from 1939 to 1961, save for the war time gap of 1943 to 1945. The Chrysler Windsor made up to 62.9% of the company sales from 1946 to 1948. This black on black Windsor C38 7P was actually featured in the 2006 John Travolta film Lonely Hearts. The 7P in the title refers to the 7 passenger ability, there are 2 jump seats directly behind the front bench seat that unfold for 2 additional passengers. Options for this 1948 Chrysler Windsor C38 7P include: AM Radio (inoperable), Hub Caps, Seat Belts, Cloth Interior, and Wide White Wall Bias Ply Tires. Powering this awesome suicide door classic is the original 250 CID L-Head Inline 6 cylinder engine, which produces 114 horsepower. The unique Fluid Drive transmission was rebuilt in 2002, it has a clutch and torque converter, and is remarkably easy to operate. It features a high and low range to accommodate all driving conditions. This post WWII production is full of chrome, from the front grille and bumper, to the rocker panel chrome trim, and back to the rear bumper and tail light bezels. Open the suicide doors, when you enter the back seating area you will feel like royalty with all the room you have to move about. The real pleasure of this beautiful car though, is behind the wheel. The Fluid Drive transmission is unlike anything you will drive again. Simply put the transmission in the high range on the column shifter let out on the clutch and the torque converter does the rest. Once moving press the gas pedal as needed, at 25-30 MPH let off the gas pedal and it will shift automatically into the high gear of the high range, and you are set for highway travel. To down shift simply slow the car with the brake, once the car reaches 10-15 MPH it will automatically down shift. This is a real gem, and you will have several onlookers no matter where you take it, be it to a car show or just down the street to the grocery store. The wide white wall bias ply tires help to cement the classic late 1940's appearance.
