For Sale: 1947 Chrysler Limousine in Statesville, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

HIGHLIGHTS: • Post-war luxury at its finest • Finished in a stunning deep blue exterior over dark blue & tan cloth interior • Seating for 8 passengers with vintage charm and original luxury details! • Smooth-running 250ci inline 6-cylinder engine • Chrysler's innovative Fluid Drive semi-automatic transmission • Beautiful chrome, vintage switchgear, and clear original instrumentation • Unique and elegant styling with a commanding road presence BODY OVERVIEW: The Windsor Limousine's long, graceful lines and proud stance speak to a time when prestige meant presence. With wide doors, ample cabin space, and detailed trim, this post-war cruiser was designed to make an entrance at any event. The body is straight and clean with imperfections at a minimum. All of the chrome trim is present, and presents nicely. Even the underside presents well in original condition! PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Wearing a rich, deep blue finish, this Chrysler glows with elegance. The paint has excellent shine and a deep gloss throughout, likely the result of a high-quality older restoration. Minor flaws exist upon close inspection, but nothing that detracts from the sophisticated presentation. This car will turn heads without shouting for attention-as true luxury always does. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: Inside, this Windsor delivers an inviting blend of class and comfort (the kind only Art Deco & Modernism of the 1940s can deliver). The soft, blue cloth seating, blue and tan door panels, and original trim elements evoke a time when craftsmanship ruled above all. Ornate carpeting in the rear adds a unique touch of plushness. Discerning buyers will notice how every detail of this vehicle was addressed in the original design; from the folding window crank handles, to the chrome features on various knobs and bezels, even down to beautiful window and door handle escutcheons-this car would be wet if it were dripping in any more class. There are signs of aging consistent with an original vehicle or older restoration, but overall, the interior feels authentic and well-kept and evokes a feeling of days gone by. A true time capsule of 1940s luxury! MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Powered by Chrysler's 250ci inline-six, this limousine starts easily and runs with the quiet dignity expected of a car of its stature. The Fluid Drive transmission provides a smooth and surprisingly modern driving experience-low effort with vintage character. Whether driving or riding in this limo,it is nothing but a composed and confident ride. This is not a hot rod; it's a rolling lounge, made to cruise! For those unfamiliar, the Fluid Drive is a sort of semi-automatic transmission. Although it has a clutch, and appears as a column-shifted 3-speed manual, there are only two gears other than reverse: high and low range. The clutch is not needed to come to a stop or to start from a stop; only to change between gears, so you can easily cruise around town without shifting constantly! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: • Timeless elegance and rare limousine body style • Smooth driving thanks to Fluid Drive • Wonderful details like folding crank handles, chrome interior and exterior trim, and AM radio • Room for the whole crew-or just room to stretch out! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: • It's 19-feet long-parking will be a calculated effort • Interior shows some wear consistent with age • Don't expect modern acceleration-this one's about the ride, not the race! DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? • Nothing major-just a new owner who appreciates vintage luxury and 1940s design! • The horn and radio are not operational WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This Windsor is for the collector or enthusiast who values history, craftsmanship, and originality. It's perfect for someone seeking a showpiece with personality, a conversation starter with space, or a classy cruiser with unparalleled character. If you love pre-1950s American design and want a car that reflects quiet sophistication, this limousine is waiting to make a grand entrance with you inside.
