1950 Chrysler Newport Base 4.1L

Description

We love getting Mopars in the shop! This is a great 1950 Chrysler Windsor Newport 2 door hard top coupe. It is very rare with only 954 of them being produced in 1950.

Mechanically the car is excellent. Nice easy starting, whisper quiet motor with smooth shifting transmission and great stopping power.

The car is all original with the exception of a paint job (on just the top) about 20 years ago. Other than that, nothing has been changed on the car and all chrome including the dash are there and in great condition. It came from an estate with a lot of Chrysler vehicles and is exempt, but the odometer shows 49,599 miles.

It has the original flathead 6-cylinder engine with the 3-speed manual fluid drive transmission with overdrive. It is equipped with an AM radio with push button presets, full gauges, clock, lighter, backup lights, dual outside mirrors (we have an OEM driver’s mirror that is not in the current pictures), electric wipers and bumper guards. Everything is original just as it left the factory, including the 6-volt electrical system.

The interior is in excellent shape, as are the headliner, seats and carpet. The body on the car is in incredible shape with no rust but the paint is starting to show its age with some patina. All this car really needs is a quality paint job to be of show winning quality all around. Even the trunk still has some of the “fuzz” on the inside of the fender from the factory. All the glass is good and the doors open and close like new. The undercarriage is good and solid.

This is a very nice original 1950 car that you can drive to the cruise-in or take the family out for a Sunday drive as it sits now. With a good paint job you will need the huge trunk in order to haul and store trophies from any car show you enter!
