The 1949 New Yorker used Chrysler's new postwar body with ponton three box styling shared with Dodge and DeSoto, still with the straight eight engine coupled to Fluid Drive and the Presto Matic four speed semi automatic. Body styles were reduced to club coupe, four door sedan and convertible, and the wheelbase grew to 131.5 inches. The new C46 series had been delayed by a strike in late 1948, and a padded dashboard was optional.
