=diego= Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Good information is a little tough to find on this, but I thought perhaps there would be someone here more familiar with this. Seems like it was somewhat of an upgrade to the New Yorker in 1940, then became a submodel for both the Windsor and New Yorker (depending on the year) thorugh 1952? Thanks!

normanpitkin Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 hi, its a trim option ,plaid seats and door cards ,highlander badging and a short lived optional Sparton horn that plays The Campbells are coming! Plaid was available in various colours with the red being the most popular .This is now remade by SMS but is roughly $100 a yard ,you will need about 6 yards.And a lot of patience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY 1940 Highlander has a multi-tone horn playing a tune and I always believed it was an owner installment. Would be amusing to prove it was part of the Highlander package, which is to my understanding just a trim option in 1940 (initial year), despite some sources claiming it was a separate series. Also note that plaid pattern differs between the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=diego= Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Your Highlander is a NYer? Do you know if it ever was available for both models at the same time, or varied over the years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to some sources yes (for Windsor and NewYorker sub-series) with regards to same year, others have less mentioning of where it was available. How long the trim option was available is also discussed, I believe I have seen 1953 models with Highlander. And my car is a NewYorker, yes.

=diego= Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Well, it seems there are both Windsor and NYer Highlander models, and the Windsor traditionally had the 6, the NYer the 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James-Wahl Motors Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The name was revived for a trim option on 1961 Newport four-doors. Only seen or heard of a couple over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
