This 1950 Chrysler Windsor Highlander Convertible is a rare
classic, with only about 2,200 Windsor convertibles built in 1950.
It's a true survivor from an era when most vehicles were designed
and built like tanks. That solid construction leaves plenty of room
for this car's red paint to shine, the huge whitewalls to stand
out, and the chrome bumpers, shiny trim, and polished hubcaps look
awesome in the sun or under the lights. The front grille is big and
bold, the black convertible top looks stunning against the red
paint, and the rear chrome bumper looks like it could withstand a
rear-end collision without harm.
The interior remains mostly stock and is still in good shape. The
bench seats are upholstered in two-tone red with a combination of
vinyl and cloth material. You get the classic '50s oversized
steering wheel with a column shifter. The gauge cluster appears
original and is in decent condition. A large speedometer and
odometer sit at the center, surrounded by four smaller gauges: Oil,
Heat, Fuel, and Amps. Additional features include an AM radio,
heater and defrost controls, a small clock, and a locking glove
box. The power convertible top is controlled from inside, allowing
you to drop it with ease whenever the mood strikes.
Under the hood sits Chrysler's L-Head Spitfire 251 cubic-inch
flathead inline-six. This Windsor Highlander is equipped with a
Prestomatic 4-speed transmission, which combines both manual and
automatic functions. It uses a manual gearbox, but thanks to
Chrysler's Fluid Drive system, the car can slow to a stop and
accelerate again without using the clutch. Power is sent to a
stock-style solid axle rear end with leaf springs, while the front
suspension features independent control arms and coil springs.
Braking is handled by drum brakes at all four corners, with 7.6-15
tires wrapped in American Classic whitewalls.
