Car of the Week: 1948 Chrysler Windsor Club Coupe Street Rod

He didn’t want the ’48 Chrysler project, but he built it any way!

In early 2007, I received a phone call from the owner of a transmission shop. We were not acquainted, but he had heard that I was conversant in things MoPar. Turns out that he had owned a stalled street rod project based on a 1948 Chrysler Windsor club coupe. My response was that I had restored a dozen Chrysler products over the years, but had little interest in street rods. As the president of the California Chrysler Products Club, progenitor of the W.P. Chrysler Club, I promised to bring the subject up at the next regular meeting. I also asked the price of the project. “No price, I just want it gone,” said the tranny shop owner. At the meeting, interest in the project was even lower than its quoted price and I soon forgot about the call.

A good guy with a soft heart under a trucker’s tough exterior.

How celebrity ownership can add value to old cars, trucks

With the 2020 auction year in full force, it’s interesting to think about how celebrity ownership affects the value of a collector car. This question arose recently when we ran into a 1949 Buick that had been owned by Green Bay Packer football star Reggie White. The Buick Super Sedanet was on display at Greg’s Speed Shop (www.gregsspeedshopllc..com) in Waupaca, Wis., so we’ll use it as an example for the purposes of this article.
