B Jake Moran Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Not mine, but wow! I know I know, it's a "more" door and a stodgy Chrysler 6 cyl. But look, you get this for close to advertised, maybe $10,000, and you are instantly transported to 1950, and would have a great tour vehicle, instant HPOF car. No one that I know will ever restore a 4 door 1950 Chrysler. It would cost $50,000 + to duplicate this car. Most of us lust for 2 door models, convertibles. If I could buy this, I would love it for what it is, a time capsule into a bygone era. A 4 door drives just as nice as a 2 door model. https://utica.craigslist.org/cto/d/clinton-1950-chrysler-windsor-only/6911126558.html Edited June 23, 2019 by B Jake Moran (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 In all honesty to me a 2 door 1950's car looks funny. That Chrysler looks great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 .Yes, really rather elegant. Well proportioned from any angle. Condition wise, must be in the top fraction of one percent of all surviving cars it's age. Opportunity for a good buy in to the hobby for someone. B Jake : You've done it again ! Thanks for the hunting you do. - Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 To me a 2dr. or 4 dr. car looks exactly the same from behind the steering wheel!! I love this car.......I would drive it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Luddy Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 3 on the tree is good. Most of these are Fluid Drive aren't they? Such a nice interior! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this is a semi-automatic fluid coupling trans, not a conventional 3 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil morse Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 That's the "safety clutch" (as you can read on the pedal pad), which was MoPar's way of making it seem like having a semi-automatic instead of a fully-automatic was a safety factor! This looks like a wonderful car. These cars were extremely solid and would run forever. A great opportunity for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c49er Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Presto-Matic was the name of the semi-automatic 2 range transmission with the Fluid drive coupling used in 1949-50 Chryslers. That is a mint mint Chrysler. The steering wheel doesn't even have a crack....this is the one to buy if that' fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a full automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
