Re: IML: What Is It?

This a 1941 Chrysler New Yorker sedan.  The serial number, 6638046, falls
within the 1941 New Yorker S/N span (6624101 to 6642655).

The long wheelbase Crown Imperial models shared their body with Dodge,
DeSoto and Chrysler LWB models.  The front doors were actually the same as
the 2-door sedan while the rear doors were unique as they were longer than
the regular sedan.   The LWB Crown Imperial came as a 5-passenger sedan,
7-passenger sedan (a 5-passenger sedan with 2 jump seats) and a 7-passenger
limousine (divider between front and rear compartments).  The 1941 and 1942
Crown Imperial models had a one-piece curved windshield that was not shared
with any other model in the corporate line up.

The model based on the New Yorker town sedan was the Crown Imperial Special.
Like the New Yorker it hads a 2-piece windshield.   The CIS was a one year
model.

Hello All,
Looks to be a very original 1941 New Yorker 4 Door Sedan. If you notice the
rear doors they are not elongated. It is definitely not a Crown. I may be
mistaken, but I thought that the 1941 Imperial Sedan was based on the slow
selling Town Sedan? This is definitely not a Town Sedan. I sure wish my Dad
was still alive. This is a dead ringer to his first "big Chrysler". Pardon
my nostalgia. It is the holiday season.
