ID These 2 cars

anybody got a clue what these are? i think the red one is a stude but not sure what model

 

The first is a '48ish Mopar. Looks really similar to a DeSoto Buisness Coupe I've lusted after for years.

 

I'd say a '42 Chrysler, without looking in my book, and a '59 Studebaker Lark wagon.

Edit: And I was dead on with the Chrysler. Not sure what model but the coupes were pretty rare in any of the 4 model series Chrysler offered. The 3P coupes, they only made about 1000 of total all four combined.

 

that chrysler is wild. someone needs to build that thing.

 

Nice!

There's a photoshop post floating right now with a very similar Chrysler chopped as a taildragger. They really do have the perfect lines.

 

That old Chrysler is totally bitchin!

 

I believe the coupe is a late 40's NASH.The wagon is a 59-64 Stude Lark wagon

 

The one on the trailer is either a 1942 Chrysler business coupe or a 1942 Chrysler club coupe. Both are series C-34S Royal. 479 bus coupes were produced. 779 club coupes were produced. Bus coupe weighed 3331 lbs and cost $1075. Club coupe weighed 3406 and cost $1168. Rare cars. Other car looks like a 1960 Studebaker Lark

 

Barris did a '41 Chrysler 3-window a few years ago, calls it the "City Coupe"
Definitly not my cup of tequilla....

 

For me it looks waaay better in pics than it did in real life. But hey, that's just me.

 

I ran across a front clip for a 42 recently. Don't know what they're worth. Any ideas here?

 

I saw this one in Vegas a few years ago and really liked. It's a Dodge, but of similar vintage.

 

If they are both yours id say congratulations on some nice finds. That mopar has some intresting trim treatment

 

That trim's probably big money to the guy who needs it. Until you find him, though, it's only worth maybe $500 if it's good.

The Stude assuming the front clip is original I think 59 and 60 have dual lights and 61-up have quad lights. But it looks just like the '59 we had a couple years ago.


The whiskers are a prewar thing, Hudson did the same thing on it's '42s, several stainless bands down low all around the car.

 

Anything made in '42 is rare as hen's teeth. Tha Chrysler is wild!

 

chyrsler + studebaker

 

The Coupe is a 42 Chrysler Royal Business Coupe. The Club Coupes had 5 windows and a back seat. Six cylinder.

 

This 42 is from the LeMay collection.

This '59 Larkhas tailights that looklike the wagon in the picture. My current '63 Lark has round tailights. Not sure when they changed. Newyorker sounds right o the headlights so maybe the tailights changed ay the same time

 

That Chrysler is awesome. I love the grill on it.

 

It clearly says Chrysler on the hood.

 

In 1942 Chrysler did not make to many coupes. The most common is the Windsor that they only made 1,713 of.

 

The stude is a 59 Lark....
