Description

A new batch of Windsor models were released by the Chrysler Corporation in 1953. Continuing in rear wheel drive form, the engine was situated in the front. This time around a V8 engine powered the Chrysler Windsor. Capable of a very secure ride, the new Windsor featured a 230 bhp and torque of 310 ft-lbs. A 3-speed automatic transmission was also now offered. Able to seat up to five passengers, the new Windsor was both roomy and comfortable. The final Chrysler Windsor known to Americans was introduced in 1961 for only two years, 1965 and 1966. In Canada, the Chrysler Corporation released a Windsor model basically equivalent to the Newport in the U.S. for those years. This particular 1953 Chrysler Windsor Club Coupe has recently gone through a frame on restoration that included new paint, interior, tires, fuel pump, plugs, points, carb kit, brake, wheel cylinders and master cylinder. The radiator was also boiled out as well as the fuel tank. The car is a very solid example and is finished in light yellow with a white top. The body is in good, solid condition with no bubbles or rot that we have found. The front and rear steel bumpers are in excellent condition and show no pitting or scratches. They have both been stripped and triple chrome plated to a show quality finish.Inside, the newly upholstered seats look great. The carpet is new as well as the door panels, headliner and kick panels. Dash is in good condition and all gauges are in good working order. The steering wheel is in good condition with only some very minor cracks. The chrome inside looks great with no pitting or damage. All lights are in good working order as well as the blinkers, wipers and horn. Under the hood, the 265 Cu In Spitfire 6 cylinder runs great and starts up with just a turn of the key. The engine is nicely detailed along with the engine bay. The motor is connected to the famous fluid drive transmission which allows you to shift gears without using the clutch. The car goes down the road with no problems and will cruise down the highway at 60mph. With the addition of radial tires, the car drives very straight and true. The underside of the car is very solid with no rot that we have found. There has been a light coat of undercoating applied to prevent any rust in the future. The trunk is equally as solid and includes a full size spare and rubber matting. VIN number is 70127014 and the mileage shows 51,888. The car is being sold on a clean Missouri title that shows the previous owner had the car since 2003.
