Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1942
Chrysler New Yorker!The 1942 Chrysler New Yorker was among the last
civilian cars built before World War II shut down Detroit. It
represented the peak of Chrysler's prewar luxury and engineering.
With its long hood, streamlined grille, and elegant proportions, it
stood out as both refined and advanced for its day.Power comes from
the 323ci "Spitfire" inline-8, smooth, strong, and paired with
Chrysler's innovative Fluid Drive and Vacamatic semi-automatic
transmission. This system allowed clutchless shifting once
underway-years ahead of its time in making driving effortless.
Engineering highlights also included independent front suspension,
hydraulic brakes, and Chrysler's attention to ride comfort and
durability, which set a new benchmark for American luxury
cars.Adding to its story, this New Yorker was once displayed at the
Smoky Mountain Car Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, even featured
on one of their official postcards. Provenance like this makes it
more than a collector car-it's a documented piece of automotive
history.Finished in black with wide seating and period-correct
trim, it delivers the unmistakable presence of a prewar Chrysler.
This New Yorker is not just a car; it's a milestone in design and
technology, and an artifact of America on the eve of change.This
1942 Chrysler New Yorker is listed by our Louisville showroom and
