Description

Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1942 Chrysler New Yorker!

The 1942 Chrysler New Yorker was among the last civilian cars built before World War II shut down Detroit. It represented the peak of Chrysler's prewar luxury and engineering. With its long hood, streamlined grille, and elegant proportions, it stood out as both refined and advanced for its day.

Power comes from the 323ci "Spitfire" inline-8, smooth, strong, and paired with Chrysler's innovative Fluid Drive and Vacamatic semi-automatic transmission. This system allowed clutchless shifting once underway-years ahead of its time in making driving effortless. Engineering highlights also included independent front suspension, hydraulic brakes, and Chrysler's attention to ride comfort and durability, which set a new benchmark for American luxury cars.

Adding to its story, this New Yorker was once displayed at the Smoky Mountain Car Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, even featured on one of their official postcards. Provenance like this makes it more than a collector car-it's a documented piece of automotive history.

Finished in black with wide seating and period-correct trim, it delivers the unmistakable presence of a prewar Chrysler. This New Yorker is not just a car; it's a milestone in design and technology, and an artifact of America on the eve of change.
