Bet this isn’t the “split window” you were thinking of when you read the title. When most people hear those two words together, they envision a 1963 Corvette or an early VW Beetle. Well, it turns out that there have been a lot of other cars built with two panes of glass in the back. This one is a 1939 Chrysler New Yorker and it can be found here on craigslist in Green Cove Springs, Florida for $3,500. The rear may look neat, but this pre-war Mopar had much more to offer than just a window that was hard to see out of. Thanks goes to reader Chuck F for the submission!

The New Yorker name may be well known today, but before 1939 it was just a model that went by New York Special Sedan. Customers started to call them “New Yorkers” though so Chrysler went with it and officially started using the designation. As the title suggests, these were classy cars. They offered many innovative features and Chrysler capitalized on them by letting the marketing department come up with catchy names. There was Fluid Drive, Safety-Signal, and Superfinish. Read up on them all and I think you will be impressed. Lot’s of interesting history here, but it is going to take a special person to appreciate it enough to take this project on because the restored value probably won’t be enough for it to make sense financially. But, then again, when did any of this make sense financially?
