Produced at the old Chalmers plant in Detroit and introduced in January 1924. Walter P Chrysler's first automobile was an innovative. medium priced. six-cylinder car of better-than-average performance. as numerous motor sport successes would soon demonstrate. First seen in the late 1930s. when English place names were much in vogue at Chrysler. the Windsor continued as a six-cylinder. mid-range model when civilian production recommenced for 1946. Such was the demand for vehicles in the immediate aftermath of WW2 that the 1946 Chryslers - like most other American makes - reappeared looking much the same as in 1942 apart relatively minor changes to grilles and trim. The 1947 Chryslers exhibited only minor detail changes from the '46 line-up and it would be 1949 before most US manufacturers got around to introducing all-new models. Chrysler's post-war offerings comprised four trim lines: six-cylinder Royal and Windsor and eight-cylinder Saratoga and New Yorker. The Royal/Windsor's six-cylinder sidevalve engine displaced 250. 6ci (4. 1 litres) and produced 116bhp at a lowly 3. 00 rpm. Chrysler's 'Fluid Drive' and 'Presto-matic' (semi-automatic) transmission were standard on the more expensive Windsor range.  

This attractive Chrysler Windsor Coupe was imported into Italy from the USA in 2006 having been treated to a restoration in the early 2000s. This refurbishment included a re-spray. a full interior re-trim. a thorough sorting of the mechanicals and a service. while the original brightwork. though patinated. was deemed in sufficiently good condition to be reused. Well sorted and looked after. never damaged or abused. and boasting a rust-free body and chassis. '218 YUK' is in generally excellent condition and a 'solid' driver. Ready to be enjoyed. this desirable six-passenger American classic comes with  spare keys. current road fund licence. MoT to February 2014 and Swansea V5C registration document
