A captivating video of a true labor of love. What a fine legacy for a man to one day leave to his family and countless admirers of these wonderful historic cars. Well done!

So refreshing to see a classic in as original condition as possible instead of LS swapped/THM350/24" rapper rims. Also loved it when dude was sanding in rhythm to Beck's "Tropicalia."

Nice! A 74 year old care ready to live further so future generations can see this Jewel! Best of luck enjoying it!

[@doubledee9675]

I'm 18 months older than the car. I'm certainly ready to live longer to let future generations see me. Not sure Jewel is the right description for me though. The car is in very good order. I'm in Australia. While there were certainly De Sotos of this age getting around as I grew old enough to remember such matter, I don't recall any Chryslers. If there were, I'd not be surprised if they were badge-engineered De Sotos or even Dodges.

First class. So much nicer to see restored to original rather than a garish resto-mod!

[@wonyankeesays5661]

NICE !

[@bobjohnson4025]

I saw a 1946-48 C39 NewYorker 2dr. Brougham in Puyallup Washington 25 years ago....should have bought it. Oh well I bought a 8 cyl. three passenger cpe and a 48 T&C convert. Great job on this restoration!

She is beautiful ,Great work !!!!

[@jimmarplediy2024]

Thank you very much!

[@michaelbenardo5695]

Wish we old-car lovers would all unite and start buying all the old cars we can so we can sell them to classic car lovers who would restore them to stock specifications. We did that in the 70s, we can do it again.

[@mauriceappleyard8269]

I have a 1953 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe, perfect paint , interior etcetera. 62,000 genuine mileage , but I like this 48 New Yorker better. Great restoration, love the paint job . Congratulations, a beautiful vehicle.

[@jaynareynolds3684]

Beautifully restored jewel.

[@4funrc11]

In high school I had a 1947/48 Desoto Custom Deluxe, 4 door, Fluid-Drive, same color.

[@michaelbenardo5695]

Wow, these are so rare! Even in the base Royal series they weren't common! So good that it wasn't resto-moded!

[@mohabriad6918]

WoW what a beautiful restored wonderful lovely monster I really love it 🥰

[@shiftintohigh5564]

Havent ever seen one! Epic! 👍👍😎🇺🇸

[@waggitnshaggit6592]

Wow truly wonderful rare gem!

[@danielulz1640]

What a gorgeous car! I don't think I was even aware that Chrysler offered a New Yorker 2 door sedan post-war. If they only Built a little more than five hundred of them, no wonder I have never seen one before.

[@jimmarplediy2024]

This is the only "restored as original" known to exist. I have seen a couple restomods. You know a car is rare when you can't find on on google images.

[@michaelbenardo5695]

@@jimmarplediy2024 Please, "Restored to factory specs" is a better description. Original means just that - as the factory originally built it.

[@clarebutterfield6927]

Beautiful car!

[@discerningmind]

Good work. Beautiful results.

[@jimmarplediy2024]

Thank you!

[@larrykrise3609]

awsome restore.so pretty.would love a ride in that.bless you

[@jimmarplediy2024]

Since restoration completed 9 months ago this car has been driven less than 10 miles but it has traveled hundreds in an enclosed trailer.

[@michaelbenardo5695]

Been YEARS since I have seen a New Yorker 2 door sedan.

[@opera93]

Thanks, looks like a great Job…….interestingly, my Grandfather’s last NEW car was a 1963 CHRYSLER New Yorker 300 @ “ baby Blue (?) interiors/ Exterior…….( Air Cond *Delete)……he seemed to be especially glad he got it…….WE ALWAYS assumed Chrysler was a better & more quality Car, etc.

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

Scott at Cold War motor would like your work on your MOPAR . Old school MOPAR or no car 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@robertdryburgh1457]

I was unaware a 2 door NY was available.

oh I wish mine had whitewalls like that, beautiful car!!

Thank you. Firestone classic bias available at Coker Tire.

@@jimmarplediy2024 Beautiful car! What size are those tires?

[@jimmarplediy2024]

@@SuperKONR Firestone Deluxe Champion 8.20.15, 4 ply polyester tubeless. I love these cars. The art deco styling is wonderful. In 1973 I bought a 1948 Windsor that I found in a road ditch in front of an old country mercantile store in the Ozark Mountains, Arkansas. I paid $350. My dad helped me fix the brakes, changed the oil, cleaned the dry leaves caught between the muffler and floor pan and drove the heck out of it for four years. Sold it for $900 in 1977 and regretted that ever since but made up for that mistake in spades. Sold it to a nice middle class couple who wanted the car to show so I'm sure it survived. I have spent nearly $100,000 on 1948 Chryslers in the past five years with no regrets. Good luck to you with your Windsor.

[@mikerobert9712]

Would love to see how that gentleman fixed those flipper window cranks. I have several that need repair

Join 1946,47,48 Chrysler fan page on facebook because I will soon post step by step pics and descriptions of the process.

[@muffs55mercury61]

I was last there five years ago and I think this is the same car that was there back then. Love the 1946-48 Chrysler products especially the New Yorkers and their purring straight 8 engines. Just 545 of these were built from 1946 until they ended production in early 1949. I am disappointed that we have to have music blocking out the car sounds. Very annoying and upsetting.

[@wanaraz]

I had a 47 Business coupe New Yorker that I sold in 1998. I should have kept it.

[@michaelbenardo5695]

Too bad Chrysler handicapped that 324 engine with, of all things, a single-barrel carb in 47 - 50. With a proper 2 barrel, Chryslers were good performers.

[@johnbaran5988]

I have a c-38 sedan the same back vent window. My title say 49 Chrysler Windsor highlander

[@bruceh92]

The car is magnificent. The camera work on video horrible.

[@bobjohnson1587]

Restore it! DON"T 'Resto-mod it! Yuck!

[@kipbrown1549]

I painted cars for a living and i must say your paint work was pretty good. ///////// The overall job you did is outstanding ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
