Crusty Trucker Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Well, it sure beats the price of that '34 Ford coupe shell listed the other day by over $6k. But, for $1,400, it may hit the road again one way or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I wonder if any of the missing trim is in the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 41 Chrysler Business coupe is the one to have. We have many threads on the forum about them. The Royale is the 6. Saratoga and New Yorker are the 8 with the later being made of unobtainium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J.: I suspect the only way to have a 1941 Saratoga or New Yorker business coupe is to assemble one from a body like this and a good eight-cylinder sedan for the chassis and front clip. The Standard Catalog of American Cars, 1805-1942, edited by B. R. Kimes and H. A. Clark states that only 771 were built total including both models. It's worse for 1942, only 238 eights. Only 1009 total cars, given their attrition rate for what was perceived as utilitarian models renders them unobtainium now. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have had the same idea, going Highland Park one better! If one is going to go to the trouble to assemble an eight-cylinder business coupe, may as well go for the maximum 'phantom' model combination...

Imperials. both project cars. Although the second one, I had told the guy years ago to let me know if you ever wanted to sell it. And when he finally did get a hold of me, it was not a good time. That wasn’t a bad car. I’m a little, bumming about that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to have at least one 1941 Chrysler Imperial Eight Highlander business coupe in existence the way a Chrysler executive would have had it built for personal use. Nothing showy, modest dark color, the beautiful green and blue Highlander interior, fender skirts and, of course, black wall tires...

marty14 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 my first car was a 1948 Dodge Club Coupe bought around 1970 for 100.00 and later I got another one this time a business coupe. My father owned a D-24 Business coupe when it was new to drive to his clients with a trunk full of clothing samples. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought a '46 Desoto business coupe about the same time for about the same price because I liked the shape. It was not in condition to run, but the seller admitted that it had a slight knock. After towing it home & jacking it up, I found the end of a piston rod sticking through the oil pan. Rebuilt the motor & it was a great car. Remember sliding a full size clawfoot tub into the cavernous trunk & closing the lid with no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty14 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 There were a few times I opened the truck and my friends gasped when they saw that space. The Grand Canyon of trunks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
