Back in the old days we'd just post photos.

okay, that was embarrassing, but I don't have a photo of the car...I have narrowed it down to a 46 or 47 chrysler either a Saratoga, Town and Country, or New Yorker, (based on the C39), but my boyfriend insists that it is a Highlander, "that's the only name it has any where on or in the car". He dug this car up out of a field that belonged to a friend of his, who told him that the car had been there around 60 years...So, when we say he just dug it up somewhere, it's true!! He-he!! ^_- Anyways the next question I am going to post is, is there such a thing as a car that is a 46-47 Chrysler Highlander, with Highlander as the model, solely. Yes, it has the Highlander plaid...

We identified the car, through the serial numbers on the front door hinge post- (7037036) It's a 1946 Chrysler New Yorker Highlander. Thanx to every one who read this & wanted to help!

"Highlander" referred to an interior trim & upholstery package, featuring Scotch plaid seat covers and door panels ( thus, "Highlander").

The Highlander option was offered on the six-cylinder Windsor series (C-38) and eight cylinder New Yorker (C-39).

They're pretty stunning when all fixed-up.

I have a '48 C-39 New Yorker ( plain solid blue seats)... I looked at a '41 New Yorker sedan with the Highlander interior several years back, but could never seem to hook-up with the seller...
