With America entering the war on December 11, 1941, all automobile production ended at the beginning of February 1942, so the 1942 model year was roughly half the usual length, and cars built after December 1941 had blackout trim. The 1942 Chryslers were relatively modern, with fenders more incorporated into the bodywork and a grille of five horizontal chrome bars wrapped around the front. A total of 12,145 New Yorkers of the C36 series were built this year.
