It has a flathead six cylinder engine. Just put a new drive shaft built for it and had new king pins put in the front. Had carb rebuilt. I put a new brake master cylinder in it two weeks ago. This is a very solid car. The previous owner put after market gauges under the dash but I have been able to buy all the gauges that didn't work before to make it original again but haven't had the time to redo it and that's why I'm selling it. $22,000 Firm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudsy Wudsy Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I've raved before about how much I love Chrysler's waterfall grilles for '39. This car is a beauty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercub Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The body has a nice shape, a real looker! The headlights are neat, low on the body. Like a 39 Ford but a simpler style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Beautiful car and it seems like a fair price, but I remember doing the wiring under the dash of my car. I felt like I had been twisted into a pretzel by the time I was finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Looking again at this vehicles photos it looks like the front turn signals are out of place. Kind of like warts on a beautiful woman's face. Are those aftermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the steering column has one of those add on turn signal kits on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if those horizontal bars in the front bumper are necessary or do they distract from the grille?

They wouldn't be half so bad if they were offered with clear lenses rather than the bright orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 It really is a shame that this was one year only coupe body. Growing up in the fifties, I got entirely sick of seeing the same old fat '40s Mopar bodies for so long. It really prejudiced me for life. I'm sort of ok with the '40-'42 ones, but I don't much care for post war Mopars at all. (Even though I've owned one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need it every Friday starting at 5 PM beginning on Memorial Day and Ending on Halloween. You can have it on Saturdays & Sundays. Oh, BTW, a full tank of gas when you drop it off would be nice.😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I talked to him, he was in the process of buying a '47 or '48 New Yorker Sedan. I hope he never reads this thread, I just disparaged post war Chryslers.
