Because of World War II, production ceased in February of 1941. Cars built in that model year had black out trim versus chrome of the previous models. Fenders were incorporated in the popular pontoon fashion. In the shortened 1942 model year, 12,114 New Yorkers were produced on the C36 platform.
The model was available in Coupe, Club Coupe, Convertible Coupe, Brougham, Sedan, Town Sedan and Town Wagon bodies. Powered by in-line six and eight configurations, the engines produced 120-hp and 140-hp in the eight. A three-speed manual was standard in the six, while the Fluid Drive transmission was presented in the eight-cylinder.
This black New Yorker appears to be quite original in its presentation and should provide many hours of motoring satisfaction.
