Gateway Classic Cars is proud to present this iconic 1949 Chrysler
New Yorker, a true symbol of post-war American luxury, comfort, and
prestige. Marking Chrysler's celebrated 25th anniversary, 1949
introduced the brand's all-new "Second Series" design-moving away
from pre-war carryover styling in favor of sleek, pontoon-style
bodylines, integrated flush fenders, and a commanding broad chrome
egg-crate grille that makes an unforgettable first impression.
Under the hood sits Chrysler's legendary "Spitfire" 323.5 cu in
(5.3L) L-head inline-eight cylinder engine. Known for its
remarkable smoothness and low-end torque, this flathead eight puts
out 135 horsepower and pairs perfectly with the Presto-Matic Fluid
Drive 4-speed semi-automatic transmission. The Fluid Drive system
delivers a effortlessly refined driving experience, allowing you to
bring the vehicle to a complete stop in gear without touching the
clutch pedal, then pull away with whisper-quiet ease.
Inside, the cabin offers a plush, spacious environment designed
around executive-class comfort and early safety innovation. Bench
seating upholstered in period-correct fabric accommodates full-size
adults with room to spare, complemented by elegant woodgrain trim
and a clean, easy-to-read "Safety-Eye" instrument cluster set into
a padded dashboard layout. Chrysler's heavy-duty chassis and
generous 131.5-inch wheelbase provide a cloud-like ride over modern
highways, while "Safe-Guard" hydraulic drum brakes ensure confident
stopping power.
Dressed with timeless period touches-including gleaming chrome
bumpers, detailed brightwork, and full-size wide whitewall tires
mounted on Safety-Rim wheels-this '49 New Yorker stands ready as a
standout cruiser for weekend shows, parades, or any vintage car
collection.
