Guest Fluttert Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Chrysler Saratoga 3 passagers CoupeBuild 1946-1948, The Chrysler blue book states thatthere were only 74 of those cars produced.I know its a C39, 5.3 Liter, 8 cylinderinline, 134 Horsepower, fluid drive. Now my question is:Is it true that only 74 were producedand how many cars still exist today( I never saw one in person, otherthen my own).What would the approximate value ofthis car be?

StillOutThere Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I'm looking at Jerry Heasley's "The Production Figure Book for U.S. Cars" 1977 which states'46-48 combined 3p coupes per model:Royal C38S 1,221Windsor C38W 1,980Saratoga C39K 74New Yorker C39S 701Truly impossible to know how many still exist today. Yours looks like an outstanding example. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 The 8 cylinder 3 windows are very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c49er Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 There used to be two C39K Saratogas here in the Seattle area. One rotted away and the other rusty one went to Europe-I think Norway about 15 years ago. I have a 1946 NewYorker 3 pass coupe myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yes, as answered by StilllOutThere, the three year production from 1946-1948 combined was 74 of your Saratoga coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Royal and Windsor were 6 cylinder cars, New Yorker and Saratoga were 8 cylinder cars on a longer wheelbase. Still a very rare car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c49er Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 A 1942 DeSoto business coupe I used to work on here in seattle was sold to Europe 10 years ago too. I suppose mine will end up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzer3 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Bob, before it gets loaded onto any ships give me a call!JayBob, please pardon me I should have included, "Please" and "Thank You" in my post. I could park your 3-window between our 48 New Yorker, two door sedan, and our 3-window Concord and I could probably hook a trailer to the New Yorker and pull that Imperial 3-window cpe. that you are building all back here to Pennsyltucky.Spring is on the way,Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markrush Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 What was the difference between the Saratoga and the New Yorker? I assume price, but what did one have the other did not? Also, is there an authoritative source on the differences between the different years of the post-war Chryslers (i.e. between a '46, '47, '48, and 1st series '49 of the same model)?

Rusty_OToole Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Saratoga and New Yorker were trim levels, different upholstery and trim. New Yorker slightly more expensive. Both were in the Packard/Buick/Cadillac price brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
