**Relisted due to Not Paying Bidder. Please. if you don't intend to pay. don't bit!!"
You are looking at a 1951 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe 2 door hardtop. The car was with the original owner for the first 50 years of it's life. the second owner had it from 2001 to 2014.  The Windsor Deluxe was one level up from the base level Windsor and generally had few more options than the base Windsor other than full carpeting. This car is unusual in that it has almost all the options of the higher end Saratoga and New Yorker cars: factory heater. factory clock. factory radio. Fluid Drive semi-automatic transmission. heavy duty oil bath air cleaner. dual exterior mirrors. even factory dual horns.  All glass is perfect. even the 3 piece rear window. The interior is in very nice original shape with seat covers that appear to be from the 50's or 60's. I have not removed them to see what the seats look like underneath but from what I have been able to see they look to be in good shape. The seats are nice and firm.  The mohair headliner is in perfect shape. as are the sun visors. The carpet is in good condition as well.  There is a rubber floor mat that runs the length of the front floor that's not in real good shape.

Areas to address: 
1) as you can see in the photos. the passenger side front is dinged. The original owner bumped into something and was told she could no longer drive. This is light damage and easily fixable. 2) the carb will need to be rebuilt.  3) The chrome has pitting as can be expected from an early 50's car that's been on the East Coast. but I've seen much worse. 4) The heater core has been bypassed.  5) The flapper to roll up and down the passenger side window is missing. They are occasionally on Ebay6) The passenger side mirror is missing. though the post for it is there.  7) Some paint is flaking off the roof as you can see in the photos.  
The positives:
Very original car. Original paint. original interior. drivetrain. etc. You don't see too many like this around. I have lots of neat things found in the car like road maps from the 60's. old registrations. nbsp;original dealer warranty card. owners manual and shop manuals.  The Windsor runs drives and stops. Transmission shifts nicely. This is the Fluid-Drive semi-automatic transmission. which means you use the clutch to shift from Neutral to Drive. or to Reverse or Low gear. There is no "Park" gear. Takes a bit of getting used to but once you know how to do it. it's a lot of fun! New 6v battery. I did replace the spark plugs and a couple of the spark plug wires but the original wires are there as you can see in the photos.   The only other item I replaced was the rotor. The underside is rock solid. as is the trunk and the engine bay. We did spend close to $1000 on the brakes. as they were shot when we got the car. We replaced the master cylinder (not rebuilt. replaced). wheel cylinders. brake lines. etc.  The last few photos are of the trunk and the under side of the front floor pans to show how solid everything is.
I'll be happy to answer any questions you have or provide additional pictures. If you are local. you are more than welcome to come and take the car for a drive it's registered and insured. This is an unusual chance to get a clean and very original 51 Chrysler 2 door hardtop!
