For Sale: 1942 Chrysler New Yorker in Orange, Connecticut for sale in Orange, CT
Vehicle Description First introduced in 1938 as the 'New York Special', the stylish New Yorker was based on Chrysler's up-market Imperial and used the latter's sidevalve straight-eight engine.
In Chrysler nomenclature 'New Yorker' signified luxury, these models being distinguished by high quality interior trim and an occasionally adventurous choice of upholstery materials including Scottish tartan (on the New Yorker Highlander).
It was Chrysler's top-of-the-range model.
It was offered in a variety of body styles including coupes, sedans, and convertibles - including the wood-clad Town & Country post World War II.
The New Yorker was reasonably priced, beginning at $1,825 for the three-passenger coupe up to $2,725 for the Town & Country convertible coupe.
Equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid axle in the rear.
Hydraulic drums provided the stopping power and the 323.
5 cubic-inch L-head straight-eight providing the 'going' power.
The engine offered 135 horsepower and ample torque to move the 4,100 pound New Yorker Convertible.
The New Yorkers were attractive vehicles with a two-piece windshield, Art Deco-inspired dashboard, and a long hood and front fenders.
The most unique and stylish of all the years that Chrysler offered the New Yorker was for 1942.
Not just because production was cut short just before WWII, but because the '42 cars have the very Art Deco streamlined front grille and is one of the most sought after and most rare versions of the New Yorker today.
Offered here is one of these very rare 1942 Chrysler New Yorker's that is a very nice original car.
Finished in its original color of dark maroon and paired with the very attractive and optional Highlander interior that really brings this car up a notch.
It is also equipped with a windshield sun visor that also adds to its already unique design.
Overall this is a very nice original car that has been well cared for throughout its existence.
The 8 cylinder engine runs very well and the fluid drive transmission shifts flawlessly.
The Highlander interior is in great condition and the brightwork around the car is very presentable.
