1947 Chrysler New Yorker

1947 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible The Chrysler New Yorker represented the top of Chrysler's luxury lineup in the immediate post-war era. Following World War II, Chrysler resumed civilian automobile production, and the New Yorker quickly became one of the most prestigious American automobiles available. From 1946 through 1948, Chrysler produced only 3,000 New Yorker Convertibles, making these elegant eight-cylinder convertibles highly sought-after collectibles today.
