1940 Chrysler New Yorker

Automobiles

The first convertibles were introduced with the new body design of the 1940 models, and the C26 series was the first New Yorker to be considered a standalone model rather than an Imperial version. It introduced Fluid Drive, a fluid coupling between the engine and the clutch, with an independent front coil suspension and a beam rear axle and only the three speed manual transmission. A New Yorker Highlander with tartan seats was offered, sharing its interior treatment with the Windsor Highlander.
