This 1950 Chrysler Windsor Highlander convertible is finished in Pepper Red over red leather with plaid cloth seating inserts. It is powered by a 251ci inline-six paired with a Fluid Drive semi-automatic transmission, and features include a chrome grille, full wheel covers, a push-button radio, reverse lamps, BFGoodrich whitewall tires, an upholstered dash, and a black soft top with a red boot. The car is said to have remained with its original owner in Illinois until being acquired by the seller and subsequently relocated to California in 1989.
Windsor convertible production amounted to 2,201 units for the model year, and the exterior of this example was repainted in the original Pepper Red in the late 1990s. Details include a black convertible top, a chrome driver-side mirror, a vented cowl, chrome bumpers, a red top boot, and bright trim on the rockers, hood, doors, and fenders.
The 15″ steel wheels wear chrome Chrysler hubcaps and BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial whitewall tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums. The brake fluid was replaced in 2021.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in red leather with plaid wool inserts and matching door panels. Additional interior appointments include a push-button radio, a heater, wind wings, red carpets, and floor mats. The front bench seat is said to have been reupholstered, and the clock works intermittently.
The three-spoke steering wheel fronts a 110-mph speedometer surrounded by fuel level, temperature, amperage, and oil pressure gauges. The five-digit odometer indicates 39k miles.
The 251ci inline-six was factory rated at 116 horsepower. The muffler was replaced in 2020, and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through an M6 semi-automatic transmission.
