c49er Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Nope. The cowls are curved differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 There was a major redesign of the 1950 body for 1951. This had to do with fitting the much wider V8. The front of the body was widened, the car got a complete new front end, windshield, and front doors.The rear doors may interchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdW13 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the info. Are the windows in the doors different, too? We did notice the rear window differences. How the windows are much bigger in the 51 back window..we prefer the 51 look. Was that to see better? We dont need any body parts for the traveler right now...but we may later if some bonehead hits us or something...lol We dont want to get rid of anything we may b able to use.

Rusty_OToole Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I recall replacing the windows in a 52 New Yorker with those from a 50 DeSoto, so I will say the door windows will interchange.More glass area was one of the trends of the fifties. It seems whenever they restyled a car they made the windows bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdW13 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Ok...they look alike...but we will measure. Well. I like more windowin this case...but some...like the bubbletops...ugh....not so appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Call Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 According to Hollander Interchange doors on a 4 door 1950 Chrysler do not interchange with a 1951. However, certain 51 thru 54 Chrysler and Desoto doors interchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
