This metallic brown Saratoga (4000lbs) was probably the lightest 2dr Chrysler to receive the hemi. As such, the car's powerful and comfortable, maybe a first US Production Auto with 3 digit top speed. (speedo goes to 120mph) The detailing, sun visor, upholstery, chrome all speak of meticulous care and restorative work. Its history includes 2 female owners litigating for its ownership! A cherished Washington car. Absolutely very very rare early 50’s Gentleman’s Hot Rod. Its a head turner. Helping my Brother market the car. Serious calls only, thanks, Larry Edited March 25, 2021 by 6T-FinSeeker (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil morse Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Interior looks presentable and comfortable, but not correct. The description of this car makes me think about what the loyal Chrysler buyers of that era (conservative bankers, lawyers, doctors, etc.) thought when they first took the wheel of their new hemi-equipped models from their previous flathead straight eights. They must have had quite a shock when they hit the gas pedal! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I like the color, guessing the firewall is the original color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I always say the same thing when a decent late 40s early 50s mopar comes up for sale. Boy I wish I had that instead of my 49 Special Deluxe in HS. Color doesn't bother me but somebody on here says that brown is a sales proof color.

Xander Wildeisen Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 There was a brown SC Cord for sale a few years back that looked very good. Brown is a hit or miss color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 There's just too much brown there for me. I don't have a problem with the exterior color but I don't care at all for the interior or steering wheel. IMO $20K is optimistic for this automobile but then again it says it's a cherished Washington car, whatever that is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosmo Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I’m thinking that the dashboard cover is supposed to be a slick faux-leather type material. This one looks to have been covered with the same material as the seats. I like the car itself, but I’m not wild about the upholstery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
