1952 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Chrysler Windsor received its first major post-war redesign in 1949 and now had a boxier, taller appearance. For 1951, its front grille was simplified, and the Royal trim level was dropped, making the Windsor Chrysler's new entry-level car.

The Deluxe served as the upscale trim level within the Windsor range, offering additional features like a column-shifted Fluid-Matic semi-automatic transmission, electric windshield wipers, a Safety Crash Pad atop the dashboard, Oriflow shock absorbers, and a full-flow oil filter.

The big news for 1952 was the release of Chrysler's all-new high-compression Spitfire engine. This 264.5 cubic-inch inline-six had a compression ratio of 7.0:1 and was factory rated at 119 horsepower and 218 lb-ft of torque.

This '52 Windsor Deluxe convertible wears a pale yellow finish, and the seller reports that its interior was retrimmed under previous ownership along with replacement of the convertible top and a rebuild of its Spitfire engine.

This 1952 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe convertible is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer's literature, historical documentation, service records, boot cover, spare parts, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
