1940 Chrysler New Yorker Highlander

1940 Chrysler New Yorker Highlander

The “Highlander”, a special version of the Chrysler New Yorker comes with tartan seats and other interior elements, and the same interior approach was used on the Windsor Highlander but using a straight six engine instead. Interior color choices were listed in blue, green, brown and maroon for the cloth upholstery while the headliner, interior rear quarter panels and door panels were trimmed in a lighter, contrasting shade of upholstery color chosen. This one of only a few New Yorker convertibles built in 1940, just 833 according to a letter from Chrysler, and maybe as few as just 87 with the flamboyant Highlander package.
