Description
Between 1946 and 1949, Chrysler produced a total of 1980 Windsor business coupes. It is unknown how many were produced year-by-year during this time, as Chrysler did not keep annual production records right after the war. The five-passenger business coupe is an iconic design of the 1930s and 1940s. Typically, this body style was offered only on the least expensive series of the marque's entry-level model. Things were different for Chrysler, as the business coupes could be found in all passenger car lines from Plymouth to Chrysler; available in all series except for the top-line Imperials. From 1946 through 1949, the business coupes were one of the less prolific body styles offered, representing a mere portion of the 330,000 cars produced during this period by Chrysler. The New Yorker was the most sought after business coupe variant, as it was fitted with the eight-cylinder engine. The Windsor models were fitted with a six-cylinder L-head engine that displaced 250.6 cubic-inches and produced 114 horsepower.
