W-O-W ! As a really old gear head (80 yrs old), I can't call this New Yorker a car,,,,, it is an 'AUTOMOBILE'! WHAT a beautiful automobile. Thank you for sharing.
What an absolutely gorgeous designed car. The period after the war leading into the fifties was design heaven. That also included the top end of the British market, with the Rolls Royce, Bentley, Jaguar, Bristol, Daimler, and Armstrong Siddley.
When I was three, my father bought a new 1948 New Yorker in forest green. A beautiful car as I remember. We owned it until 1955 when it was traded in on a new Windsor sedan.
My granfather had the similar DeSoto which is a lower level car than the Chrysler. The interior looks similar and it had the fluid drive transmission. It was a very cool car.
As soon as a I saw this beauty I said “she must have a name.” Elizabeth is gorgeous so pretty and calm, a gorgeous period color and that interior and BACK SEAT wow amazing! Thanks for sharing and good luck to the owner and his very cool hair! ✨
Those battery cables are too small. 6 volt systems need 1 gauge battery cables, or else you will be plagued with slow cranking and starting problems. 6 volt starters draw twice the amps as 12 volt starters, and when you double amps, you square resistance.
Just FYI. The low range on the fluid drive starts in first gear and shifts to third when you let off the gas. In high range it starts off in second gear and shifts to fourth when you let off the gas. In both ranges the transmission will automatically downshift when you roll to a stop. Women loved these cars because you could just plop it in high range snd drive with little effort. Cadillac and later Buick (I think) had the fully automatic hydromatic but those cars were much more expensive.
let me correct the above statement. The low range does not have 3rd gear! It has 1st and 2nd. The high range has 3rd and 4th. Crazy how so many people can't understand this transmission.
You sound like me all beautiful old cars are girls. I have a 1939 Ford Tudor . It is just as it was built by Ford back in 1939. 1 original color repaint. And yes still has the 221ci flathead V8, and 6 Volt system. And she is named Olive. Your Chrysler New Yorker is beautiful, and the best color ever Green.
*SAM!* STOP waving your phone around wildly! It's distracting and doesn't allow the viewers time to focus on any of the details. This car is a classic and should be examined and admired at great length. Remember... *SLOW, SMOOTH and STEADY.*
Those are not New Yorker badges but Imperial badges. That means the inline 8 and superior coach work. The top of the line as you say. That car has been restored beautifully. It's superb. and the New Yorker style was amazing. I'm surprised they did it as you could sell anything on wheels in 1946.
Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful car. I've had a 1948 Chrysler Windsor for a number of years that I very much enjoy as well. Could you tell me if your car is Paint Code #4/Heather Green or Paint Code #5/Polo Green?
My first car was a one-owner 1946 Dodge--the same color--the Dodge color was windward green--had it for 24 years--was used in 2 scenes of "The Godfather"--but wasn't the Imperial bigger than the New Yorker
I would drive this daily. All day long. Just a beautiful work of art on wheels
It is a really good one....

Gorgeous green paint and sensational enameled crest on the hood. What a beauty.
This is a fantastic automobile

A true, and rare, beauty to be cherished.

Our family car was like this one and nobody committed suicide while riding in the rear in the 4 years we owned it, ever!

Buick had Dynaflow beginning in 48. New Yorker was in the same price class as Roadmaster.

@@chagall56 Wrong. 1 and 3 are linked together and 2 and 4 are linked together. Looking at a service manual for the car as I type this.
Laminated Glass Bubbles at Vents and Front Windows. Still Very Nice!
What the upper class was driving the year I was born. My lustometer is off scale.

Yes!!
That looks amazing! We’ll done. She looks phenomenal for her age.
That's beautiful!
Beautiful Vehicle ❤ It
It really is!
Beautiful video and car but no explanation why it’s name is Elizabeth
FYI - The straight 8 engine in this car is a323 cubic inch engine, not a 223 .. Fabulous automobile!
On level ground, there is no need to use Lo. Doing so defeats the whole purpose of Fluid Drive.
very nice new yorker46

Those ARE New Yorker emblems, as it says on the hood sides and dashboard. The straight eight WAS used in the New Yorker also.

VERY COOL!
No need to drive this car so slow. If it has a true 2 barrel carb, as early 46 cars did, it will do 100 MPH.
The 48 Chrysler does not have an overdrive. What this owner describes as overdrive is really 4th gear.

Postwar America
I always thought that car was ugly as hell
What is the best looking American car for 1946?
This car needs the correct Mopar radio instead of the aftrmarket Motorola.
That IS the factory installed radio.
